Our Mission

 

With Balancers, our ambitions soar beyond typical event organization. We're not just creating gatherings; we’re sparking a Solo Revolution. Our mission is to provide a space where individuals can confidently show up solo, meet new people, and expand their social circle—without needing a plus-one or group.

We are committed to creating inclusive and transformative experiences that defy the isolation and superficiality of urban life. At Balancers, people feel valued, respected, and supported as they take the first steps toward forming new connections.

Our events are designed to foster a safe and welcoming environment, free from discrimination, dogmas, and religious dictates. Whether you come alone or with others, authenticity is at the heart of what we do. Being yourself isn’t just welcomed—it’s celebrated.

Inclusivity

How it all started

 

Growing up, community was a constant in my life – from the church to the Scouts, and later, university. It was a comfort I took for granted, until my life took a big change. After university, I chased my dream of becoming a trader and moved to London. But that's when I faced my toughest challenges.

My initial days in London were a struggle. My English needed improvement, so I worked as a waiter and barman while learning the language. Eventually, I earned a junior position on a trading floor and thought I had it all figured out. But success didn't feel as I imagined. I found myself trapped in a routine, isolated in front of screens, far removed from any community.

It was a challenging time, compounded by the UK's decision to leave the EU, which left me feeling somewhat disconnected in a city that felt indifferent. Then, as if on cue, COVID struck, and the trading markets became unpredictable. I found myself at a crossroads, searching for purpose and direction.

Faced with a decision to return to Italy or find a new path in London, I chose to stay and seek change. I realized that many in this vast city shared my feelings of isolation.
This realization sparked an idea – to use my background in community building, something I had always underestimated, to make a difference.

This effort isn't just about changing individual lives; It’s about challenging the ridiculous standards set by the virtual world and helping people embrace themselves as they are.

This is when I created Balancers. In the last 18 months, we have hosted more than a hundred events and welcomed over ten thousand people. Balancers is not just a project, but a journey to rediscover my purpose and to help others find theirs... It's a commitment to change, to make the world a little more connected, a little more real – one community at a time.
