It was an absolute joy to be part of the Adopt a Grandparent annual award event on the occasion of Grandparents Day. π
Thank you Vicky from for sponsoring the award for Wellbeing Coordinator of the Year! Thanks to all the supporters of this amazing initiative! It was great to share stories and experiences!
At the heart of Adopt a Grandparent is something so simple, yet so incredibly important - helping tackle loneliness and creating meaningful connections for care home residents!
Loneliness can have such a profound impact, and the opportunity to have regular conversations, share stories, laugh together and simply know that someone is there to listen can mean so much. Visit the website to donate, sponsor, support and volunteer!
Through weekly calls and meaningful connections, Adopt a Grandparent is making a real difference to the lives of so many residents. We have seen this first hand at Southborough, part of Care UK π
Incredibly thankful to the wonderful Southborough team for their commitment and support, and to Kamal Gill for her continued support and encouragement.
Thanks to Ruth and Carol for showing us how beautiful connections can be made at any age with their weekly calls with wonderful AAG volunteers Emily and Kelly!
A huge shout-out to all the amazing volunteers who give their time, and hope more and more corporate volunteers and sponsors help make these connections possible. Every conversation, every smile and every moment of companionship matters.
Thank you, Shaleeza Hasham and David Annand, for creating and championing such a meaningful initiative. What you are doing to bring people together and reduce loneliness is truly priceless.
Wishing the entire Adopt a Grandparent team an amazing year ahead. π
