At Mingle Co, we understand how important it is for everyone to to socialise and connect with others. Our friend matching events are designed to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for adults who are socially anxious or neurodivergent.

Here's what you can expect when you attend our events:

A quiet and warm ambience where you can relax and be yourself.
An opportunity to expand your social circle and make new friends.
Each guest has a brief one-on-one conversation with potential friends to identify those with whom a friendship could develop. You will be given a clipboard to write the other guests names, all guests will rotate around the tables to have the opportunity to meet everyone.
Self-diagnosed neurodivergent individuals are welcomed to this event.
No rejections; our focus is on creating a positive and inclusive environment where everyone feels welcomed and valued.
A fun and engaging atmosphere with icebreaker cards to help you get to know one another.
Professional and friendly event hosts who are dedicated to making your experience as enjoyable as possible.
The activity lasts for just over 2 hours, where each guest has 8 -10 minutes to ask their new friend questions (toilet and drink breaks half way).
Complimentary drinks on arrival and pizza to share and mingle.
You're welcome to bring a support person (to help with your nerves).
Hosts will email guests the following day with possible friend matches.
