Action #040
Join something
This action has been done 6,878 times which means 6,878 people are meeting new friends rather than staying in and watching repeats of Friends.
Long gone are the days when joining something meant socks and sandals in the local church hall or a feisty jostle for the last sticky orange quarter at half time. So join something. Anything. A team, a choir, a pack, a league, a union, even a queue is better than nothing.
Thank you, we've recorded your complaint. If you would like to contact us, please email us.
Your post has been sent to the comment-master. The master will scrutinize it thoroughly before putting it in the pot. Hopefully if everything is ok, it will show up soon.

about joining things
- In 2006, nine million people had experienced feeling lonely at week-ends and 18% of people age 55 and over admitted going a full day without speaking to anyone.
- One in 50 people (2%) said they had no one to turn to in a personal crisis.
- It is a natural urge to have a family, be a part of a community, a member of a church, a player in a team, a part of a gang. Belonging can connect people to others around them, as well as leading to a sense of being valued, recognised and listened to.
- In the early eighties, more than 60% of people then in their thirties were active members of local community organisations. Twenty five years on across a similar section of society, active membership has dropped to less than 10%.
- Church attendance across Europe halved over a similar period and political party membership in the UK once nudged 3.5 million but now struggles to reach half a million.
- Trade union membership in Australia is 26% lower than 15 years ago and the proportion of Australians affiliated to a faith has dropped 17% in 30 years.
- Young people who participated in sports or community centres at age 16 were:
- Young people who do uniformed activities (like the Scouts, sports or martial arts) are:
