In March 2022, we launched publicly our social platform, Senior Planet Community (SPC). A platform designed as a fun place for older adults to hang out together, communicate with each other, share resources, and make friends – completely ad-free.
After less than two years, SPC has surpassed 10,000 registered users – A significant growth milestone, especially for a social platform dedicated exclusively to older adults. Something exciting must be happening there!
Why Join the Community?
Besides being completely ad-free, Senior Planet Community is a social platform designed by and for older adults. With over 40 groups, SPC provides many perks to its users. For example:
- The Book Club offers access to a community of almost 2,000 bookworms and keeps you updated with the ongoing Senior Planet Book Club.
- The group Ask a Tech Expert is where you can get answers to all your tech questions.
- For foodies, the Recipes, Cooking & Foodies group, and Vegan Lifestyle group have a vast library of homemade recipes to try out. Remember to contribute with your recipes as well.
- Join the Own Less (Decluttering Tips) group to share tips and motivate each other to adopt a more minimalistic lifestyle.
- Find a reason to smile by visiting the Pet Lovers group. And so much more.
Above all else, what makes Senior Planet Community exceptional?
You.
