I know, I’ve been a bit quiet for a while. What with Easter, a full house and all that exercise, it’s been difficult to fit everything in, but it’s all back to normal now and I’m raring to go with all my plans.

The 5x50challenge has been brilliant at getting me all toned up and energised.  We’re now on day 34 of the 50 day sports challenge,  and so far I have hiked 10 times, cycled 8 times, swam 5 times, run 5 times, pilated 4 times, and kayaked and danced 1 time each! I’ve had some great days out with the team, with the family and on my own and am really enjoying getting out in the fresh air.  In the past I would have made the excuse that I didn’t have time, but I always come back more energised and focused on what I want to do, so it’s time well spent.  Team ‘Real Women of Wharfedale’ have raised over £100 already, but still have a long way to go to reach their target of £500 in aid of www.simononthestreets.co.uk, a fantastic charity that offers support to rough sleepers in West Yorkshire.  We just need to raise £10 per day for 50 days, so if every one of you just donated £1, we would soon reach our target.  As they say, ‘every little helps’ and would be greatly appreciated.  If you would like to donate to this worthy cause, go to http://www.justgiving.com/realwomenofWharfedale.

Having built up our following in Yorkshire, we are now working hard to market the site in other parts of the country, particularly in areas where new members have joined. We are really keen to spread the word about togetherfriends and encourage women to join, as many of our current members have successfully made new friends and are meeting up regularly with their new companions.

“I have met two other local ladies and we have already met a few times for coffee, gone to the cinema and have plans to attend a book club. It's been well worth joining.” togetherfriends member

'togetherFriends is a lovely idea because it connects women on a really practical level and you can find people with shared interests very easily. It means you've got something in common from the start.'  togetherfriends member

“You can find people who are genuinely keen to go out and do something together. I don’t enjoy putting myself forward, or standing out on my own, so a web-based social network is a good idea” togetherfriends member

“This is a brilliant concept and a welcomed one for a person such as myself”  togetherfriends member

Finally, we are keen to work in partnership with other businesses that share similar clients. You may be an estate agent with a client moving to a new town, you may be a divorce lawyer who has clients who are re-building their lives and wishing to extend their social circle, you may be a holiday company with clients who are looking for travel companions. If you believe that it would be beneficial to work together, to share articles and costs, to write or receive guest blogs, to advertise on our site, please do get in touch. We would love to hear from you.
