Having trouble making friends? Look no further!

From Afternoons, 1:20 pm on 4 November 2025

Despite having the technology to connect to friends and family 24/7 - social isolation and loneliness are issues that are becoming more prominent .. not just for the elderly - but also for young people.

So Melinda Wong has come up with a solution..  friend making events .. hosted get togethers where strangers can meet and get to know one another in a safe environment.

Melinda runs Time & Place .. organising private dinners and public picnics in an effort to help people connect.
