If you need someone to join the gym with, someone to go to concerts with, or just need new people to form meaningful bonds with, you have the opportunity to find it on MyRelations+. We want to normalise the process of finding new friends and expanding your network - beyond dating and love relationships. In the aftermath of the corona crisis, many have begun to feel loneliness as a result of prolonged social isolation. MyRelations+ aims to reduce loneliness by bringing people back together. Both digitally on our platform, but also out of the many collaborations we have made in large parts of Scandinavia. This is a social project that aims to make a difference to people across the globe. We focus on diversity, inclusion, and the eternal struggle to reduce loneliness.
