How it works

Meet and connect

Community Call

TABLE

Last Sunday of every month · Online · Free

Meet people, talk in small groups and find people you connect with, from home.

English Conversation Club

ENGLISH

First Sunday of every month · Online · Free for all members

Practise English through conversation: meet people, explore interesting topics and discover everyday life in different countries. Beginners, confident speakers and native speakers are all welcome. We talk in small groups matched by language level, giving everyone room to participate and grow more comfortable speaking.

New Connection

MATCH

Monthly · Online or in person · Free

The NFP algorithm introduces two members based on their interests and current needs. Sometimes you meet someone like you. Sometimes you meet someone you would never have crossed paths with in everyday life.

Questions and answers

Frequently asked questions

Is membership paid?

Membership is free. Community calls, regular local gatherings and conversations need no Kind Coins. Tickets, venue hire and other costs for individual events are stated in advance.

Can I promote my services?

NFP is not a place to gather customers. You can share what you do and what you know. Unsolicited selling and promotional direct messages break the rules.

Do I need to be an immigrant?

No. What matters is understanding the NFP philosophy and being willing to follow the community rules.

Do I need to be an expert?

No. You can show someone your city, organise a walk, help with a language, share a contact or join a community initiative.

Which languages do members use?

The shared languages are currently Russian and English. Local gatherings may use other languages when that works for the participants.

Why are applications reviewed by a person?

We want to preserve the quality of interactions and clear expectations for membership.

Can we discuss politics or religion?

You can discuss your own experience. The community cannot be used for campaigning, recruitment or pressure.

What if someone breaks the rules?

Tell a moderator. Depending on the situation, there may be a conversation, warning, participation restriction or removal.

What happens to application data?

Data is used to review applications and organise membership. Contact details are not published. Public profiles require separate consent.
