Nationwide

GrandFriends is a not for profit organisation whose aim is to bring kiwis together, from across the generations, to form lifelong bonds.

Social isolation and loneliness are much more serious than just uncomfortable feelings... Research shows social isolation and loneliness are linked with increased mortality, depression, high blood pressure and dementia. These are serious issues in New Zealand, that are inter generational and across all social demographics.

Grandfriends busts social isolation and loneliness! We are the bridge that brings kiwis together from across the generations.

Using our years of experience we match like-minded Grandfriends, extending their support networks, so they can enjoy the special moments, share the load - all the while combating loneliness.
