Co Founder of Solo Connects, Rachel Allen spoke to Andy Collins on BBC 3 Counties Radio to talk about the loneliness trap when you're single.

Rachel and Andy talked about the concept behind Solo Connects (getting 20 people to the pub because dating apps suck) and how this incredible dating and friendship community has snowballed from there.

People are having more fun in their single life now they aren't swiping their life away on dating apps.
