INTRODUCING
Curated local experiences to help you swap screen time for real time — with real people. Whether it’s book club, a group run, progress towards fitness goals, wine tasting or just a proper coffee chat — Newt makes it easy to meet likeminded people, try new things, and feel part of something.
OUR MISSION
Despite being more digitally connected than ever, millions of people— especially in urban settings—lack meaningful, real-world social interaction. This leads to isolation, inactivity, and a negative impact on mental health and community cohesion.
Newt’s mission is to reconnect people through curated, age- and interest-based group activities. By creating a structured, scalable way to facilitate real-life connection, we’re tapping into a rising demand for experiences over screens—and building a platform that solves a deeply human problem with a smart, community-first model.
OUR VISION
To become the first place people go when they want to do more with their day. Whether it's finding a group run, a pottery class, or a casual meet-up, We want to be a hosehold name for those looking to reconnect by disconnecting.
Our vision is to make Newt a trusted, go-to platform for social discovery and local connection—bridging the gap between interest and action.
OUR STORY
Our founder realised one day that he and his friends were spending more time on their screens than actually living in the city around them. Outside of work and old friendships, real communities felt almost non-existent, and being social in London had started to feel routine.
Wanting to do more sport and culture-based things but not knowing where to start, he decided to create something different — a central hub of curated, exciting activities designed to get us off our phones, trying new things, and meeting like-minded people. The result is a community that brings fresh energy, variety, and connection back into your social calendar.
Here at Newt we're a small, passionate team of curators, connectors, and creatives with a shared mission: to make leisure meaningful again. With backgrounds in wellness, hospitality, the arts, and community building, we design experiences that feel personal, thoughtful, and quietly elevated.
We believe in quality over quantity, intention over noise, and the power of real-world connection in an increasingly distracted city. Together, we craft moments that help our members slow down, look up, and engage—with London, with others, and with themselves.
