💫 My Journey to Creating Hey30s+

Hi, I'm Olga, and I founded Hey30s+.

I started this community because I know how hard it can be to make friends as an adult. When I moved to London six years ago, I had just turned 30. I had quit my job, ended a relationship, and moved to a new city impulsively, hoping for a fresh start. But what I didn't realise was how lonely it could feel. Making friends in your 30s (and beyond) isn't easy, life is busy, people are in different stages, and it can feel like everyone else has their life together except you.

Hey30s+ is my way of changing that. I wanted to create a space where women could meet their people naturally, without pressure, awkwardness, or judgement. Somewhere to have real conversations, make lasting friendships, and feel like you belong.

We organise regular in-person events around London: brunches, walks, picnics, workshops... designed to help women connect with others who truly get it. Whether you are in your 30s, 40s, 50s, or beyond, Hey30s+ is for anyone who wants meaningful friendships, fun experiences, and a sense of community in this big city.

I created Hey30s+ because I don't think anyone should feel like Sundays, or any day, have to feel lonely. Life is complicated, adulting is hard, but it's so much better when we don't have to do it alone.

Olga 💛
