Here you can chat, find new friends and connect with like minded seniors to share and fuel your interests. Find a friendship over 50 Friendships are important at any age, but when you get older and you find yourself living on your own, then they are even more important. Sometimes though, your old friends might not have the time to spend with you on days out or holidays and it’s a shame to miss out on these things because you don’t want to do. Find Companionship.
