Love stitch
After retiring I was looking for things to do and to meet new people. Stitch has met both of those goals, I have tried new things and met some lovely people.
Not a dating site
I have been so turned off by dating sites and the plethora of scammers and the lack of response to messages that I decided to try something new.
Stitch allows you to visit with people far and wide and to chat with them. There are many people from Australia and New Zealand where Stitch originated as well as the US.
There are Discussions, and Activities (real and virtual), private messaging, etc.
Maybe you’ll find your someone or maybe not. You will be welcomed into conversations with interesting people.

Positive Experiences
Wonderful way to meet people and develop new friendships. My local group is very active with numerous events being posted regularly. Strongly recommend as a way to expand your social life.
Room for Improvement with Respect
Stitch is a wonderful concept & is well run & fun. There are some areas for improvement. Those hosting events must understand how to & avoid inviting unsuitable members. Also, if there is inappropriate behaviour reported to a host, support must be provided to those who suffered, as well as reporting by host. Unacceptable behaviour needs to be handled much better by Stitch. Bullying & threats need zero tolerance. Trying to convince Stitch to remove members showing these behaviours has been extremely difficult. In some cases, it hasn’t even happened sadly. And why are there members still hosting events who have been reported for their abusive behaviour? There is much room for improvement and I would love to see it happen.

Stitch over 50’s social group
I’ve met some lovely like-minded people through Stitch and enjoyed many great outings, from theatre and music to social gatherings and much more. It’s a great way to stay connected, have fun and make new friendships. Highly recommend giving Stitch a try! 😊
So many great activities!
Love that there’s so many different kinds of events to choose from! Have met some wonderful new friends along the way too. Life is so much brighter with Stitch so thank you!
Give it a go!
I have been a member of Stitch for a number of years and I can honestly say it’s a great way to meet new people and make lots of friends. It’s also great to learn new things and new places whether it’s new venues or new pastimes. Don’t be shy, give it a go!
A new life!
I joined Stitch about 5 years ago to be able to do walks and some other activities in a group. Well ….since then it has exploded and I’m busy all the time, whether doing activities or socialising with new friends!
The best site to meet people
I’ve been a member of Stitch now for five years. Been the best experience moving to a new area I could ever ask for. You make wonderful friends that you keep for life.

A wonderful organisation that is like a live “Time Out”. Such a variety of activities by very different organisers each with their own personal slant/interest which means it’s impossible not to find something you’d like to do with like minded people. Highly recommended
Stitch the over 50 community for meeting people.
What a wonderful community stitch is. It’s completely changed my life meeting so many interesting people from different backgrounds and ages who have all been very welcoming and kind. I count many as good friends now who I would never have met before who see beyond my disabilities and make it easy to join in or spectate in different activities. My advice to new members would be join a local group first before meeting one on one and give it a real chance you will never look back.

MAKE NEW FRIENDS
Someone I know recommended Stitch to me so I decided to join. The thing I enjoy the most about this over 50’s social site is the way you can create your own activities. You can also create groups of like-minded individuals interested in your particular passion. That’s great because if we are to make significant new friendships it’s important to find people we resonate with right?
Once you join Stitch there is really no excuse to be at a loss for something to do, or for a way to meet new people. There is such a variety of activities you can just select what appeals to you.

Stitch review
I joined Stitch a little over 2 years ago. The support offered by Stitch members, worldwide, is so good. Of course they can’t be in the room with me, but knowing they are there is so good.
I also have more friends now, than before I joined Stitch.
Stitch is great supportive community.

Fabulous!
I’ve been a member since 2020 and it was a lifeline when I couldn’t go out during COVID. I initially got to know people online in group activities. Since then I’ve met lots of them, from all over, in person and had many great fun times.
Stitch is a fabulous community where safety of members is a huge priority.
I’m currently meeting more people in my own area and really enjoying that. You’re never alone when you have got Stitch. The travel club is great fun too. I recently went to Bath, what a great weekend we all had.

I find that Stitch has enriched my life for the better & I wholeheartedly encourage you to join!

Stitch Leona
While looking for a safe social media group and listening to advise on dating after 50, I came across an interview with Andrew from ‘Stitch’. I was immediately drawn to the concept of meeting people from all over the world, women and men for friendship. I had been widowed several years before and now Covid had struck.
I joined and immediately found different groups to share my thoughts, angsts and time. After joining various groups of assorted interest and feeling safe , I am so fulfilled.
The first group I joined was “Widows and Widowers”. Previously, I had felt all alone. None of my friends had lost their spouses. My friends were able to say how devastating it must be for me, but couldn’t relate on a ‘reality’ basis. My confidence expanded and quickly I joined another group “Codenames” which was organized by one of the members of the “Widow and Widowers “ group. It has become my favorite place on Friday nights and Saturday afternoons. This is through Zoom meetings and involves others from all over the world!
As my time on “Stitch” had evolved, I have joined several other groups including “Optimists Unite”, “Stoicism”, “Artists gallery”, “Dating after 50” and so many more! The people I have been acquainted with are amazing. We are from all different backgrounds and all contribute to each other’s knowledge. This had relieved me of my loneliness during these very trying times. My family has noticed how I treasure these moments and hear about different acquaintances. It has really been amazing. Support, understanding, fun, laughter, cultural thoughts and social activities are a few words that come to my mind when I think of “Stitch”!

Social connections
The stitch community has helped me to improve the quality of my life through the connections that are built over time. Like most things the more you participate the better you feel. The activities that you can join and participate in are varied and run by hosts who take the time to introduce you and help you feel comfortable. Most people are like you looking for connections and friendships and to enjoy activities with the company of others. It is simple but effective. It breaks loneliness. And makes you smile.
