Neuroinclusive Speed Friending Event in London
Platonic Speed dating for friends -Neuroinclusive and Introvert friendly! Our last event sold out and ended with 53 mutual friend requests and one attendee telling us "everything was literally perfect, I wouldn't change a thing". When we say neuroinclusive, we don't just talk the talk. No bright or flashing lights, a chat-free quiet area with ear defenders, adult colouring and bubbles, and friendly host for every group. Made by neurodivergent people, for anyone who finds small talk exhausting and a room full of strangers a bit much. Come and see why so many people who come to Daisy return to future events
Overview
Neuroinclusive doesn't mean neurodivergents only. Everyone is welcome.
Imagine an event where you don't need to work the room and nobody asks what you do for a living.Where attendees have described it as "the first truly inclusive and truly accessible event I've been to", where your needs come first and you are looked after. Where taking time out in the quiet area at any point s actively
encouraged.
That's Daisy!
