I thoroughly enjoyed meeting the ladies today at lunch although I didn’t manage to talk to everyone. This was an important step for me today and quite a difficult one. Since having Cancer and chemotherapy I hadn’t really had the energy, or the will, to go out of the house and meet people for over 5 years. Earlier this year I got my ‘All Clear’ notice and since then I have been steadily picking up and taking an interest in myself, and feeling that I needed to get out and meet new people. I had become quite isolated and withdrawn. But, following the death of my neighbour two weeks before Xmas last year with the same Cancer, it made me realise how lucky I am to be here, and that I should be enjoying life, because others aren’t so lucky. I have to thank Anne, for helping me to take that step today because I was quite nervous, and I look forward to, hopefully, a lot of happy years with new friends from now on.

Thank you so much Anne & Joan - amazing idea to set this up. I am sure you have helped so many already and will continue to build on that. I am so grateful for the opportunity to meet people outside of my workplace and to hopefully build new friendships along the way while trying out some new activities.

It was great to finally meet some of you. I have recently moved to the area and don’t know anyone so this app has been great for me. It can be hard to put yourself out there and connect with people you don’t know but if anyone is not sure whether to join or attend these meet ups, give it a go and meet with friendly ladies.

I loved the way everyone made an effort to introduce their self. You think you are the only one but lots of others feel the same way. So welcoming Thank you.

I have really enjoyed being a part of the Good For You Club. My name is Liz Irvine and I live in Blairgowrie. Since moving here 7 years ago I've gone from working, to retirement through lockdown, to babysitting 5 days from 7 for my grandchildren! My unpredictable schedule makes it a challenge to get out to regular organised events, such as yoga or keep fit, and meet like minded people. GFYC allows you to connect with people with the same interests as yourself, at times and places that are convenient for you. It's very easy to use the app and it has definitely been beneficial for me. Since joining GFYC I've made lots of new friends, am improving my fitness and wellbeing through walking and socialising with them at. I can't recommend the club highly enough!

Friendships I've made since joining the group have changed everything for me. Good For You Club has become a really important part of my life.

When women get together, they can be so strong.

The benefits I've had so far in my first 2 months of joining, are a couple of get togethers with other members. The first was when we met at the South Inch and walked to the Royal George for High Tea. Enjoyed a lovely meal and great chat and of course 10% discount off the food too. The second was a lovely walk at Birnam and coffee at the Dunkeld House Hotel. On both occasions it was great to meet other, like minded women, who are looking to meet up with others to make new friends and join in activities.

It is so good to be part of a group of people with a chance to meet new friends and do different things you might not do on your own. Makes you feel more outgoing and confident which is always a good thing.

I first seen GFYC on social media and found the prospect of meeting up with other ladies very appealing. Anne and Deborah invited me to play Pickleball and I must say I thoroughly enjoy the game. I met up with another lady, who is deaf blind, and walked through Pitmedden Forest a couple of times. Due to a family members ill health I haven't managed any of the other meets/chats but I intend to join in when I can.
I would recommend GFYC to anyone looking to meet some like minded ladies, you won't be disappointed. A big thank you to Anne, Joan and everyone who partakes.

We've all got each others backs. I realised it more than I knew yesterday, for all different reasons, not just my own. Love this bunch of nutters.

Never known any other group to be as supportive and positive... just saying.

I started a Good For You book club, and made more new friends since joining the group than she had in the 18 preceding years in Perth.

There are a lot of people stuck indoors, especially after lockdown. Good For You Club has been amazing for me. I’d love to try some things that are out of my comfort zone now, like wild swimming.

I've only lived in Perth for a few months, since my husband and I retired here from Yorkshire. Good For You Club and the friendships I've made since joining has been my “lifeline”. I've always been busy before and I didn’t realise what loneliness could feel like.

I haven't been on a bike for more than 50 years, so I decided to give this a go. I went round the Inch on a trike and loved it. After the event, I contacted Ella and arranged a one to one lesson. Within the first 20 minutes I was riding a bike. She was so patient and helpful. I had my second lesson today and thoroughly enjoyed it. I rode the bike the whole way around the Inch!!! I feel confident enough to go out on my own now. If I wasn't part of the GFYC I may never have attempted this. I encourage you all to "Go For It" Learn a new skill and have fun doing it, all with the support of the GFYC.
