Meet Jodie

​

The founder of a new movement

​

Hello! 

​

I'm Jodie and I am the face behind “The BIG Social”

I am super passionate about The BIG Social as the idea came about for personal reasons, I have always suffered from social anxiety, so I struggled to make friends and I also went through a separation throughout lockdown which was difficult.

​

I decided after 12 years of Dental Nursing I would leave and head in a different direction, I had no idea what I wanted to do then one night when I was feeling sorry for myself after my 2nd Covid vaccination, I was wide awake feeling unwell and I realised that what was missing for people in my situation was a local club where people could do lots of fun activities that would help meet and make new friends whilst learning new skills.  I did some research and although there are plenty of social activities, nothing seemed to be available in the area of the scale I was thinking and then I decided to look into how I could do this myself, and this is where The BIG Social came along!

​

I suggested the idea to a few people who were so supportive and I went straight to my business advisor to tell her of my idea, the name was one of the first names I came up with and I was sold and the rest was history and now here I am talking about my new adventure on my very own website!

​

I am so super excited about this, I really hope this helps others who are in similar positions, my family live miles away and I felt so alone and secluded during the lockdown, and I really hope The Big Social will help others who feel the same way I did. I completely get you and I don’t want anyone to feel nervous, this is an all-inclusive community and I want everyone to feel welcome! and I cannot wait to meet you!

WELCOME TO THE BIG SOCIAL!
