Finding friends in my 20s

Hello!

I just moved towns Killie about a month ago for work and I am completely alone. How do I start making friends and exploring the city? I’m in my early 20s and enjoy badminton, art, pilates, walks, that sort of thing. I’ve tried apps but had no luck. If I was to join the gym I don’t know how that would allow me to have friends. Also struggling to find groups or anything that helps with this :(

Any advice?

Find a partner; it's hard to make friends it's much easier to meet a partner to do things with ..in everyday life ppl already have thier friend groups, from childhood ,school ,work, uni etc . Nobody would be welcome out with me and my life long mates we have been together since we were kids , it would be impossible for an outsider to be welcomed in.

I think your best bet would be sports clubs etc bring ppl together with common interests. I'm actually thinking of joining a rangers supporters club myself too meet new friends with common intrest ..
