The 'girl gang' tackling loneliness in young women
By Sammy JenkinsA woman has set up her own "girl gang" with the aim of building friendships, empowering women and tackling young loneliness.The free social club meets once a month with activities like speed-friending.
Inspired after experiencing loneliness when her friends "moved away and settled down" Ms Cooper-Mead, who grew up in Swindon, said it was about getting women together for a chance to meet new people. New member, Hayley Jackson, said it was really hard to make friends and "branch out" of the social circles some women find themselves in.
"It's so different meeting people outside of your phone and it's so important to have those connections with women, share stories and empower one another," she said.
