Making friends can be difficult at any age, but as people grow older the task can feel even more daunting. That's why a group of Bristolians came together to run 'Adventure Queens'.
Originally set up as a national group in 2017, the community was launched to allow like-minded women to meet and share their passion for adventure. Now the Adventure Queens group spans dozens of locations, with over 15,000 members.
The 43-year-old, from Whitchurch in South Bristol, said these groups are “so important" as they give women of all walks of life the “chance to meet new people, experience new things in a safe environment where you’re not going to get judged and just have a great time.”
