About Us
Everything you need to know about the people behind Stitch
What is Stitch?
Stitch is a community that helps anyone over 50 find the companionship they need.
Our grand vision is to help improve the lives of older adults in every country around the world and provide an answer to the social isolation and loneliness that everyone ultimately faces at some point in their lives, whether they’re seeking friendship, romance, or anything in between.
What makes Stitch completely unique is that it’s a community, one that’s been built by members, for members.
That means everything at Stitch is a result of the efforts of Stitch members, whether that’s local activities and events designed to bring people together, online discussions with other members around the world, group travel events, helping with member verification, even volunteering their time to help grow the community. Our members know what it’s like to need companionship, and ultimately everyone has a role to play in making life better for each other.
Why don’t you join us?
The Stitch Team
Stitch is created by a small team of people who are passionate about creating a community that helps make lives better. Every member of the Stitch team has joined because they believe in making a positive impact on the world, which is why you will often find them volunteering to spend their time supporting and assisting members of the Stitch Community in their free time.

Our Community Champions
Beyond the work done by the Stitch team itself, most of the important stuff that happens in the Stitch community happens because of our many Stitch Community Champions, who are located in Stitch communities around the world.
(Becoming a Community Champion is easy, by the way: you just need to volunteer!)
Below are just some — but by no means all — of the members responsible for getting Stitch to where it is today!
