Meeting friends in Edinburgh with CitySocialising: How it all began...

People looking to meet new people in Edinburgh have found their saviour and it comes in the form of Edinburgh social networking site, CitySocialising. Forget meeting friends of friends who aren't up for doing the things that you like and begin interacting with professionals, like yourself, who share your interests and outlook. Its simple, we designed a site which helps out going professional meet others who share their interests, online. We then, with the help of friendly members, arrange fantastic Socials for everyone to meet up and develop those friendships offline, out of cyberspace.

CEO and founder of CitySocialising, Sanchita Saha, was the brains behind the idea which she thought up after listening to friends new to her city, who had trouble expanding their social circles. She researched and developed her idea for a real-world social network for in 2005, with the help of the Princes Trust and, unsurprisingly, the trial site was a success, helping those looking to meet new people connect both online and offline.

In January 2007 CitySocialising launched the premier network in London, but by October 2007 seven other UK cities had their own CitySocialising too, including this Edinburgh social network.

CitySocialising make it their job to organise great locations and brilliant events where friendly, sociable professions can meet with their new online Edinburgh friends. The London, Brighton, Leeds, Nottingham and Derby, Bristol and Bath, Birmingham and Coventry and Edinburgh social networking sites have worked so well that, in 2009, further cities were added to the network

Unlike a lot of online social networks, CitySocialising encourages platonic friendships which are initiated online and then developed further offline. Our Socials aid professional people to meet new Edinburgh friends whilst enjoying the most of the amazing experiences that the city offers. Our Socials are designed to get groups of like-minded people together to enjoy the things that they have in common and due to the chilled-out nature of our members, meeting like-minded Edinburgh friends is fun and relaxed.
