Being part of the Stitch “family” has been just a fantastic and wonderful experience. Just over a year ago I realised I had to make an effort to join something, somewhere, somehow. The members I’ve come to know will be part of my life for a long time. Stitch has been such a positive experience and has brought me back to life. I want to thank everyone at Stitch for giving me something to look forward to again.

How on earth did you attract such amazing people to Stitch? I am so amazed … such a far cry from the simplistic and quick conversations everywhere else. I really am blown away. Keep on doing what you are doing, Stitch is so unique.

Stitch is a really amazing way to meet people, with the screening you do, I didn’t feel vulnerable to scammers. I honestly signed up to Stitch to look at group outings, holidays & discussion forums. Curiosity made me check out a couple of profiles, I only clicked interested on a couple, I had a brief chat with one gentleman, and he & I had a couple of chats, long phone call, and met face to face. We've been very happy since.

Thanks for Stitch. It is a great place to meet real people. There is no other place that I have found to make these kinds of connections on a daily basis and I look forward to our sharing time. You have helped make the world a village for so many of us and I thank you for that.

Stitch opened that door for me to allow me to step outside of my little bubble of a world and be creative and less a hermit of habit. I really don’t like being so alone, Stitch allows me to meet not just men, but people of all walks of life. Some widows like me, some wild and “out there”, and some just needing to know that everything is going to be alright.

I really don’t know what I would do without Stitch in my life right now. I was on a downward spiral of depression. Then I took a chance and decided to check this thing called Stitch out never knowing what a blessing it was going to be in my life. I have a few tears running down my cheeks as I type this out. But really, I just can’t thank you enough!! I feel alive again.

Mature Hobby Socials

Life after 50 still holds real scope for connection and shared experiences, though finding new companionship can feel harder to fall into naturally when routines, distance and busy lives interfere. Plus, with so many platforms aimed at younger folks, it can be challenging to find a trustworthy space that speaks our language and understands our stage in life. Stitch, a community where you can find companionship, aims to turn the desire for a relaxed and dependable social life into a reality. With our trusted platform for older adults, we are here to help you connect with others, whether it's through events, activities, interest groups or more. Our mission is to enrich the lives of older adults around the world by opening more paths to meaningful connection, guided by the belief that life thrives in community and that our relationships can keep deepening with age. Major publications, like Time, The New Yorker and Forbes, have highlighted our work.
