About Us
After seeing this programme going so well in Australia, it was a shame to find out New Zealand did not offer this service – so here we go!!
The aim of this is to pair up families and Grandparents, to give the Grandparents the feeling of inclusion and to experience family security that they may not have. The families also benefit by being able to share stories and experiences with another ‘family member’. It is amazing to see how many locals do not have families near for them and their children to interact with.
The residents that I have met so far, would greatly appreciate having any sort of company to play cards/boardgames, look at school work, have pretend play, make music, build things together.
This is a non-for-profit organisation, that only asks for a committed amount of time per week/fortnight/month to spend with their Grandparent.
