We are the bridge that brings kiwis together from across the generations. By connecting families with GrandFriends, we provide a long lasting “people” solution to loneliness.
Using our years of experience we match like-minded GrandFriends, extending their support networks, so they can enjoy the special moments, share the load - all the while combating loneliness.
We are looking for awesome individuals or couples who would like to support a local family and act as a "GrandFriend". We have a waiting list of families in your area who would love nothing more than to connect with you.
You are welcome to apply as an individual - or if you wish to apply with your partner (husband/wife/significant other) as something that you can volunteer with together - that is also very much welcome and encouraged.

This month we’re rolling up our sleeves, putting up our hands, and saying ‘YES’ to giving our time and skills to projects that make Aotearoa a better place to live.

As a mostly volunteer-led organisation, our members know first hand the value and impact that a single volunteer can make in our communities. Imagine then how much can be achieved when several volunteers or even an entire street or neighbourhood decide to work together to achieve the same goal!
Whether you plan to coordinate your own volunteer driven activity, take part in one that’s already been setup, participate in National Volunteer Week (20-26 June), or simply show your own volunteers some extra love this month, know that every bit of effort to give back is a priceless investment in all of our futures.

I have teamed up with two dedicated women we have formed a business called " Children With Disability NZ" we have applied for charity status.
We are a Northland New Zealand-based group striving to bring enjoyment to disabled children's lives, our current focus is on the lack of facilities in Northland catering for disabled children.
Our mission!
To make Northland the most disability-friendly region in New Zealand
To provide more events for our disabled children their parents and siblings to enjoy togetherness.
More USABLE and WHEELCHAIR friendly outdoor experiences
Better wheelchair accessibility.
More sensory programs and equipment in public spaces.
Our mission is to make every disabled child welcome in Northland.
We have many great ideas and a lot of support already in place. We have a first goal of getting the unused WDC wheelchair swing out of council storage and into use within Northland.
We would like to be guided by feedback from the communities of Northland.
We have a working relationship with Whangarei District Council and other Northland councils, WDC and other councils are becoming more aware of accessibility issues facing disabled children and taking measures to improve accessibility in our city.
We are also lobbying at the Government level. All contact details on our website. We are
