Clubs near you
Groups that keep meeting. Running clubs, book groups, Sunday walks and games nights, run by verified people near you.
What a club gives you
The same faces, every week
A running club, a book group, a Sunday walk. Join once and keep turning up: that is how acquaintances become friends.
Plans just for members
The club’s plans go to its members, with their own spots and chat. Repeating plans are built in: every Tuesday, every other Sunday, monthly.
Run by verified people
Every organiser and member has passed an ID check. Organisers approve or remove members, and anyone can report a club.
How it works
Find one, or start one
Explore shows clubs near you. Can’t see the one you want? Start it: a name, what it’s about, the general area, and who it’s for.
Join
Some clubs are open to anyone verified; for others the organiser says yes. Once you’re in, you get the club chat and its plans.
Keep turning up
Go to the plans that suit you. Mute the club if you need a break; leave whenever you like.

Clubs or Same time next week?
Both are about seeing the same people again. Same time next week matches you with a small group of strangers for four weeks: good when you don’t know where to start. A club is open-ended and built around something you love doing: good when you know what you’re into and want to keep at it.
Built for trust
- Everyone is ID-verified, organisers included, with a checked profile photo.
- Clubs show a general area only. Each plan has its own meeting spot, shared only with the people going.
- Organisers stay in charge: approve new members, remove someone, or hand the club on.
- Blocks follow you into clubs. Messages from someone you’ve blocked are hidden, and you won’t see clubs run by them.
- Report a person, a message or a club. A person reads every report, and we remove clubs that break the community guidelines.
- Every club plan has the usual safety tools: a safety check-in and live location for your trusted contacts.
What we collect
| What | Why | Who can see it |
|---|---|---|
| Clubs you run: name, description, kind, general area (rounded to about 1 km), who it’s for and how people join | Showing the club to people nearby who could join it | Verified members nearby who can join it. |
| Which clubs you’re in or asked to join, your role, and whether you muted them | Running the club, its plans and chat | The club’s members see who else is in it; the organiser sees requests. |
| Club chat messages | The club chat | Members of the club. |
Leaving a club removes you from it straight away. A closed club is deleted, with its chat, about 13 months after it closes. Details are in the privacy policy and on Your data.
Questions
What is a club?
A permanent group run by one of our members: a running club, a book group, a Sunday walk, a board-game night. Join one and you hear about its plans, get its group chat, and see the same faces week after week, for as long as you like.
Who can start a club?
Any member who has passed the ID check and has a checked profile photo. You become its organiser: you post its plans, choose whether anyone can join or you approve each person, and set how many members it can have (up to 200). You can hand it to another member at any time.
Who can see a club’s plans?
Only its members. A club shows up in Explore for verified people nearby, with its name, description, general area and how many members it has. Its plans, members and chat are only for people in the club, and the exact meeting spot of each plan is only shared with the people going.
Can members post plans?
If the organiser allows it. Every plan in a club is still an ordinary Good Company plan: it has its own spots, its own chat and the same safety tools, including check-ins and live location for your trusted contacts.
Is there a women-only or 50+ club?
Yes. Women-only clubs are for members who are women, and 50+ clubs for verified members aged 50 or over, checked against the date of birth on their ID. Their plans follow the same rule automatically.
Can I stop the notifications?
Yes. Mute a club from its page and you won’t be told about its new plans or chat messages. You stay a member and can still see everything.
What if someone in a club makes me uncomfortable?
Block them: you won’t see each other’s messages, and you can’t join a club whose organiser you’ve blocked. Report a person, a message or a whole club from the app; a person reads every report. Organisers can remove members, and we remove clubs that break the community guidelines.
What happens if the organiser leaves?
An organiser hands the club to another member before leaving. If an organiser’s account is closed, the club passes to its longest-standing member, or closes if nobody else is in it. When a club closes, its upcoming plans are cancelled and members are told.
What does it cost?
Nothing. Good Company is free for members. Hosts never charge members; any cost (a class, a court, entry) is paid to the venue and shown on the plan.
