I joined our local Streetlife about 3 years ago, its been a lifesaver, I go to a ladies lunch once a month and have made lots of friends, we also have days out, on Tuesday its a once a month quiz & meal at a local Indian restaurant, outings arranged for the summer, trips to local theatre for a murder mystery, someone came to sort out my computer, when I first joined another member can and resealed around my bath, next week four of us are having a pancake party, you can join in as little as you want or lots, we warn each other on the website of scams etc local news, offers on line. If you are lonely or feel isolated then join your local branch, it has helped me a lot especially after my hubby passed away.
