Meet people in Birmingham
Small plans with ID-verified people near you, across Birmingham and the West Midlands: a walk, a table, a pitch, a quiz team.
What you could do this week
Every plan on Good Company is posted by a member, so what’s on depends on who’s nearby. These are the kinds of plans that suit Birmingham:
- Hike: A morning on the Lickey Hills, with a pub lunch after
- Walk: A canal walk from Brindleyplace out to the Jewellery Quarter
- Dinner: A curry for six, everyone paying their own way
- Sport: Five-a-side on a weeknight, all levels
- Other: A gallery afternoon in Digbeth, then a coffee
- Club: A board games night that meets every other Wednesday
Don’t see your thing? Post it, and verified people nearby who fit the plan are told. Or say what you’d go to (“bouldering, weekend mornings”): when three people nearby want the same thing, you’re all told so one of you can post it.
Where it works
Good Company works across the city centre, the Jewellery Quarter, Digbeth, Moseley, Kings Heath, Harborne, Edgbaston and beyond. You choose how far you’ll travel, and plans show the general area until you’re in; the exact meeting spot is shared with the people going.
Who you’ll meet
Every member has passed a government ID check and a live selfie before they can join a plan, see who’s going or chat. Groups are small, usually four to eight, and hosts can set an age range. There are also plans for students, plans for over-50s, women-only and men-only plans, and clubs that keep meeting.
Getting there and back
The day before, everyone confirms they’re still coming, so you know who to look for. You can start a safety check-in and share your live location with up to three trusted contacts until you’re home.
Is it free?
Yes. Joining and posting plans, the group chat and every safety feature are free. If a plan has a cost, like entry to a class, it says so and you pay the venue yourself.
