Whether you’re new to the area, feeling a bit lonely when you’re offline, or just craving a friendly place to belong, you’re welcome here.

THE UNPIXEL MANIFESTO
We are the Unpixels. Humans first, screens second. We choose presence over passivity, connection over scrolling, and belonging over the quiet ache of isolation.
We believe life happens in rooms, not feeds. In eye contact, not avatars. In laughter that fills the air, not the comment box.
We show up — imperfect, curious, a little nervous sometimes — because showing up is the bravest thing a person can do.
We talk. We listen. We play. We laugh. We make space for each other. We remember what it feels like to be part of something real.
We refuse the idea that loneliness is normal. We refuse the idea that friendship is accidental. We refuse to shrink ourselves into pixels when we were built for warmth, noise, and human messiness.
We are new arrivals, long‑timers, shy souls, loud laughers, overthinkers, game‑players, tea‑drinkers, and people who just want a place to belong. We are not anti‑tech. We are pro‑human. We gather every week to practice the ancient art of kindness when being together — talking, laughing, playing, and building the kind of community that doesn’t vanish when the battery dies.
We are the Unpixels.
No pointed ears, no waxed skin — just real humans building dreams from ordinary moments and turning them into belonging. And we believe connection starts with showing up.
​
Unpixels, the squiggle keeps us unique.

Where This Comes From
Three years ago, Anne Anderson sparked off Chitter Chatter Clubs - a safe chat club space for everyone to come and male friends— and now 38 clubs across Dorset bubble with life every week. We’ve watched retired communities come back to life through simple, consistent connection.
Confidence has returned.
Mental health has lifted.
Social mobility has quietly grown.
Anne and her volunteers have seen miracles — and we want to see this tenfold for the 18–30s.
We’ve watched people who hadn’t spoken in years find their voice.
Strangers who now take day trips and holidays together.
Groups who sit side‑by‑side in doctor’s waiting rooms.
We’ve celebrated a wedding.
We’ve cheered on couples in their seventies discovering romance.
We’ve seen blind guests grow independent.
We’ve heard widows laugh again around shared tables.
This is what happens when humans gather.
This is what happens when people feel safe enough to belong.

Why the Unpixels Exist
When it comes to the 18–30s, we don’t pretend to know exactly what we’ll witness — but we know this:
The modern world isn’t as modern as it claims.
One in four families are estranged.
Half of men aged 25–50 are swearing off relationships.
Young people are getting more left swipes than right.
Something essential has been lost — and it needs to change.
Nature tells the truth more honestly than any app.
Birds flock.
Fish shoal.
Humans gather.
We’re not meant to do life alone.
We’re meant to be Unpixels — stepping out of the screen and back into the world where connection actually happens.
