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.

Senior Events

There's something exciting about having people to talk to, places to go and experiences to share, and that's exactly what many older adults seek to find. But over time, changes in life, shifting routines or friends moving away can make socializing feel less natural than it did before. Turning up to events alone can feel daunting, even when you genuinely want to have fun, stay active and keep doing the things you love. Knowing which social platforms are reliable is challenging too, especially as most are built with younger users in mind. Stitch was created to change that: with our trusted platform for older adults, we make it easier for people over 50 to build real connections in a way that feels welcoming and natural. Through our website and app, you can join our trusted global community that makes it simple to find companionship across different kinds of activities. Trying something new comes without any awkwardness or the need to explain yourself. Since 2014, we've been dedicated to encouraging older adults around the world to nurture companionship, with our efforts recognized by various major publications like Time, The New Yorker and Forbes. So, if you're searching for 'Senior Events', turn to our community.

It's a basic expectation to feel safe when meeting new people. That's why Stitch is designed with practical, easy-to-understand safeguards so you can feel confident joining in. Before anyone can interact with others, they go through a verification process, which helps ensure that the people you're talking to are genuine and accountable. It's a small step, yet it's meaningful when you're choosing to join a conversation or attend an activity. By limiting participation to verified members, we maintain a more contained space and a culture of respect. You're not exposed in the way you might be on open social networks, which makes it more comfortable to engage. Member testimonials are also available, allowing you to read firsthand accounts of how people have been able to find friendship and love here on our platform. Plus, there's reassurance in how the community naturally operates, so whether you've been curious about 'Social Groups For Over 60s New York' or 'Old People Clubbing', you can rest easy. Many interactions happen in group settings or shared activities, giving you time to observe, participate gradually and get to know others better. With an active presence in cities like Las Vegas, Cardiff and Perth, we continue to grow while keeping trust and safety at the center of each connection.

Once you've joined our community, you're not left to figure things out on your own. Real people power our platform: a team that cares about how your experience goes and is ready to help the moment you need it. Whether you're stuck on how something works, need help with your account or just want guidance before testing something new, support is easy to reach and clear to navigate. You can write to our team at and expect a quick, considerate response from someone who takes your concerns seriously. We welcome feedback of every kind, good or bad, as part of our ongoing effort to improve the experience for our members.
