Grandparents needed!
Know any local grandies looking to take a family under their wing? Then message today!
Here at Grandfriends we bring together families and grandies in the hope of forging new familial connections. And boy is this a great family seeking the best grandie. Jo, Tim and their son Max (5) are active and creative, going orienteering every fortnight. They would love for someone to join them! However, if that's not your favourite they are also creative; Jo likes op shopping and is interested in music, and Max is into art and building with wood. Bonus, they have a cat called Fuji. 🐱🧶
As a comment from Jo herself: "I would personally love to connect with a family/Grandie who loves playing musical instruments. This would be a real treat, and a great way to connect! If not music, then someone who loves getting creative in some form, whether it be through art, clay, food creations, beads, or whatever else, it doesn't matter really 😉"
If something you would like to be part of please get in touch quoting reference number 4956 Joanna.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
