GrandFriends NZ

GrandFriends is a small charity working to combat big issues like loneliness, connecting families and older people to form lasting memories.

Nationwide

GrandFriends is a small but mighty charity that combats big issues like isolation and loneliness. We are the bridge that brings Kiwis together across generations.

GrandFriends connects families who don't have grandparents to lean on with older people in their local area who have time and love to give. This helps families find support nearby and helps to reduce loneliness in older people, especially those who live alone.

GrandFriends was founded by Jo, who has experienced first-hand the challenge of raising children away from your immediate family and the support that a surrogate grandparent can bring.

Your donation helps us to pay for the small but mighty team who run things behind the scenes, and contributes to the cost of running our members-only online platform so we can connect even more people.
