This International Friendship Day, we are proud to support Adopt A Grandparent! 🧡
They're a charity creating regular companionship between older people living in care homes and volunteers across the UK and beyond.
At Autumna, we know how important it is for older people and their families to feel informed, supported and less alone when navigating later life. That is why Adopt a Grandparent’s work matters so much.
A weekly video call may sound simple, but for many residents it can become something to look forward to. A familiar face. A shared joke. A conversation about football, music, travel, family or memories from years gone by.
For volunteers, it is a chance to learn from another generation and build a friendship they may never have expected.
Everyone deserves friendship, conversation and the feeling that someone is glad to hear from them.
