Takes about a minuteFriendship for over-55s · Guernsey
Alongside introduces people over 55 in Guernsey to a friendly local nearby, for a walk, a coffee or a good chat. Everyone is ID‑checked, and we introduce you to people nearby you’re likely to get on with.
- Launching soon
- Not dating
- Not a care service
Often, good company is only a few doors away.
Why Alongside
Life has a way of getting quieter. People retire, move house, lose a partner, or see friends move away. Alongside makes it easy to meet someone nearby who’d enjoy the company too.
Introduced, never browsed
Nobody can search for members. We introduce you to people nearby who share your interests.
ID-checked
Everyone confirms who they are with a photo ID and a selfie.
Free to start
Free while we launch in Guernsey. If that changes, we’ll tell you first, and nothing is charged unless you choose a plan.
A gentle start
First, a hello.
Then a coffee on Thursday.
Then someone who saves you a seat.
And maybe, in time, a friendship.
How it works
Set up the app
Download the app, make your profile, then do a one-off ID check with a photo ID and a selfie.
Coming soon to the App StoreWe introduce you
We introduce you to people nearby we think you’ll get on with, starting with what you have in common. Nobody can browse members. You both say yes before anything else happens.
Nearby, and you both say yesSay hello, then meet
Once you’ve both said yes, you can chat in the app. When you’re both ready, meet up close to home, as often as suits you both.
At your paceSafety
Your details stay private
You chat inside the app. Other members see the name you go by, never your phone number or address. The app doesn’t even ask for your address.
Report or block anyone
Report or block someone at any time, and every report goes straight to our team. Blocking ends the connection, and they aren’t told.
Someone you trust, if you’d like
Add a trusted contact. We’ll only get in touch with them if a check-in after a meetup raises a concern. They can’t see your messages or your account.
We’ll never message you for money
Alongside will never message you for ID or money. Checks only happen inside the app.
What it is, and isn’t
Not dating.
Not a care service.
Not volunteers.
Just good company, close to home.
Everyone you meet is a member like you, aged 55 or over, who’d enjoy the company too.
