Getting active isn’t always easy. How long should you exercise for and where? When do you know you’ve really pushed yourself? Signing on youths and yuppies alike, London-based Run Dem Crew wants to prove that running is for everyone – as long as they’re willing to ‘run hard, fast, and strong’.

Surprisingly, social media really isn’t all that social. People may be chatting more online, but digital friendships don't provide the same value and social support as real life mates. Research has found that heavy social media use among young adults is correlated with an increase in loneliness.

Social isolation is increasing across both nations and generations, meaning that many countries are facing a 'loneliness epidemic'. Global research has warned that the negative impacts of social isolation are so vast that it's becoming a greater public health problem than obesity.

GirlCrew is a Tinder-like network for women to make new friends, find mentors, and get professional support. Hundreds of women have already signed up ahead of the US launch, showing how they're open to turning to apps to forge new relationships in their personal lives, too.
