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.

Old Friends Club

Many adults over 50 want to find companionship that's simple, natural and welcoming. But remaining connected can be daunting when you're unsure where to start, and distance plus competing schedules often get in the way of meeting on a regular basis even if you already have a social group. Luckily, Stitch is designed with you in mind: our trusted platform for older adults makes connections straightforward and reassuring. The tangle of available services can be understandably hard to work through, and trust is the core worry. Since 2014, we've been committed to offering spaces where older adults discover and nurture valuable relationships. Our credibility is built on years of enhancing companionship and is backed by endorsements from Time, The New Yorker and Forbes. We've also been recognized by the United Nations with the 2024 WSIS Healthy Aging Innovation Prize, affirming our commitment to making life richer for our members. Our platform is grounded in the belief that life is better within a community and that nurturing these connections remains essential with age. If you're searching for 'Old Friends Club' for the same reasons, you can turn to us and be welcomed into a trusted community that makes it easy for companionship to flourish naturally.

Stitch offers a platform to build these connections at your own pace. See our community as a new, welcoming neighborhood where you can meet soulmates for life's many stages without losing comfort or authenticity.

From Manchester and Miami to Melbourne, our global community includes members like you who are expanding their circles. Engaging with members close to you makes it easier to keep a regular social calendar and get in touch with connections. You can also try endless activities and events worldwide or, if it's more your speed, partake in virtual spaces instead. And if you're worried about safety, you'll be glad to know that our community is built on mutual trust, with every member verified and genuine. Our structured social interactions make it easy to recognize authentic engagement, with many member testimonials and stories of companionship and friendship forged in our ever-growing community. Wherever you may be, Stitch makes finding companionship an accessible and inclusive reality, so you can look up 'Old People Friendship' or 'Making Friends In Old Age' with ease.

After you join our community, you're supported instead of having to navigate everything solo. A real team stands behind the platform: people who care about your experience and will step in to support you when you need some help. If you have a question about a feature, need account assistance or would simply like a bit of guidance before you try something new, our support is easy to reach and straightforward to understand. You can write to our team at and expect a quick, considerate response from someone who takes your concerns seriously. Whether feedback is positive or negative, it is always welcome because we are continually working to make our members' experience better.

Then, you can explore our community membership options through Full membership tiers like Community Basic, Community Standard or Community Manager when you're ready for more ways to connect.
