Why I started The Friendship Network

Hi, I'm Luke. I know how it feels to feel completely disconnected... even when surrounded by people.


When I was homeless, the isolation was what got to me the most. People would walk past without even a glance. I would think, does anyone even see me?


After I got myself back on my feet, that feeling of loneliness didn’t disappear and I realised I wasn't the only one feeling this way. 


That's why I started The Friendship Network - to help people make real connections, genuine friendships and remind them that they're not alone.
