We’re pairing the lovely residents at our CHD Living homes with caring individuals in the community who want to help combat loneliness.

ABOUT ‘ADOPT A GRANDPARENT’

We launched our ‘Adopt a Grandparent’ campaign to bring a sense of comfort to young people and the elderly who may not have grandparents/grandchildren of their own, with the aim of creating long-lasting intergenerational friendships.

What started as a local search, reaching out to those local to our home, soon became a global campaign, with kind and considerate individuals hailing from as far as Australia to help bring some happiness to those we care for. It’s even made the news, with The Independent, The Metro and The Standard (to name but a few) sharing our story.

WHAT’S INVOLVED?

All you need to do is fill in the form below and one of our team will be in touch to pair you with your new ‘Grandma’ or ‘Grandpa’.

After that, these are some of the ways in which you can help:

Having phone calls/video calls with your new friend

Sending cheerful pictures/stories/poems (post or email) for them to enjoy

Sharing stories from different generations

Sending letters/postcards to your new friend, much like a penpal!
