About Gransnet
About Gransnet®
Gransnet is the busiest social networking site for the over 50s. Launched in May 2011, the site has been described by the Telegraph as "a new dawn in grey power".
At its heart is a buzzing forum where users debate the hot topics of the day, support each other through tough times and share a laugh. Brimming with useful content covering everything from fashion to food, travel to technology, as well as competitions and an incredibly popular book club, there is something on the site for everyone.
An offshoot of the very brilliant Mumsnet, the leading parents’ website, Gransnet offers a sense of community, which can often be a lifeline, alongside essential lifestyle advice. So whether you're seeking impartial advice from our users, looking for daily dinner ideas, or want to find that perfect gift for a partner or friend, Gransnet is the place for you.
Best of all, we have other gransnetters:
"Really look forward to seeing the emails arrive in my inbox every day, have lots of laughs along the way. And enjoy taking part in the more serious discussions too, it’s like one big extended family so to speak, thank you all for posting, it’s great to hear different takes on all the discussions daily."
"Gransnet is such a warm community of wise and wacky people, who entertain, support and advise. Love it!"
"I would just like to say a heartfelt thanks for all the smiles and support all of you have given since I joined. I think ours is a wonderful community and I am beginning to feel as if I know some of you quite well. Special thanks to those of you who replied when I needed extra support."
"This website has brought people into our lives who we share common bonds with and help along life's rough highway, giving companionship, support and love to each other."

Our advertising policy
Gransnet is a business funded mainly by advertising and we hope to be a profitable one, but our overarching aim is not the pursuit of profits. We are independently-owned and we aim to conduct business in an ethical manner.
We support the WHO/UNICEF International Code on the Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes and do not accept advertising from a number of companies including Nestle. We do not accept advertising for a number of products, including cosmetic surgery, that we believe do not sit well with our philosophy.
We are a community, not a lobby group, though we are prepared to campaign for issues where our members feel strongly. We are apolitical and accept advertising from all political parties. When the main political parties place advertising with us, we offer the same coverage and rates to their opponents.
