Opportunities like this don’t come along often.
We volunteers are inviting you to go offscreen and we'll help you make a path in the sand for future footsteps.
There’s no pressure and no expectations — just an open invitation, offered with love.
Come as you are, and see what unfolds.
The Unpixel Club
Every Monday in Weymouth
Step out of the screen and into a room full of real humans.
The Unpixel Club is your weekly space to talk, laugh, play games, and make new friends — no pressure, no small‑talk panic, no scrolling required.
The Ship Inn, Weymouth Quay
Mondays, 7.00 – 9.30 pm
Starting 2 March 2026
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.
Come, become an Unpixel — connection starts when you show up.
Loneliness /social isolation scours the core of your being.
​
Why?
​
Because it's your body's way of telling you
"you need human connection."
"Last night the guys taught us girls
how to parallel park." Anne
​
​
"This has stopped me scrolling and I feel so much better from a night off." Katie
​
"I've just moved to Weymouth and now feel as if I belong a bit."
​
"I'm 23, an engineer and my life is so serious. This is fun."

Where This Comes From
Three years ago, Anne Anderson sparked off Chitter Chatter Clubs - a safe chat club space for everyone to come and make 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 that sit side‑by‑side in doctors’ 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.

Anne Anderson (64): “In January 2022, God placed this loneliness‑recovery mission on my heart — to help as many lonely people as possible step back into connection. I’ll keep going for as long as I’m able.”
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.
How You Can Practically Support This Mission -

​
There are so many ways to get involved:
Volunteering your time• Some employers allow you time in lieu for volunteering with their consent. (It looks amazing on your CV)
​
Getting your company to sponsor this outreach project. (Of course they want their staff perfecting their communication skills - they benefit from it)
Sharing our posts (I really do need help — I’m old!)
Telling your colleagues and friends - good news travels fast and allows me a cuppa peace.
​
Hosting a fundraising event so we can buy brilliant games and cover volunteer expenses. We are not for profit, so need all the fundraising help you can offer.
Helping us set up or pack down on Monday evenings
Every bit of support helps us build a space where young adults can reconnect with life, laughter, and each other. And for anyone who volunteers, I’m always happy to provide references and help your CV shine right at the top of the application pile for future jobs.

Together, we can make something extraordinary. If you feel able to support this new loneliness‑to‑connection movement, we would be incredibly grateful.
