For yourself

Good company, close to home.

Alongside introduces you to a friendly, ID-checked local nearby. Someone for a walk, a coffee, a chat.

For people aged 55 and over.

What you can expect

A walk, a coffee, a chat

Someone friendly to share a walk, a coffee or a chat with, close to where you live.

You meet somewhere public, such as a café, the park or the library.

For people aged 55 and over

Alongside is for people aged 55 and over. The person you meet is a member too: someone local who would also like good company.

How the ID check works

Every member confirms who they are with a photo ID and a matching selfie before they can meet anyone. It is an identity check, not a background check.

You both say yes first

We suggest someone for you to meet. You can say yes or no.

You only ever meet someone after you have both said yes.

What it costs

Free while we launch in Guernsey. If that changes, we’ll tell you first, and nothing is charged unless you choose a plan.

What Alongside is not

Alongside is not a care service and not a dating app. It is community companionship: walks, coffee, conversation.

Join the list

Check your town

Alongside is launching soon. The app is not in the app stores yet, so for now you join the list. Tell us where you live and we will email you when it launches in your area.

Launching soon in Guernsey. Then across the UK, town by town.
