Would a regular friendly video call help you feel more connected?
Adopt a Grandparent is for older people living in care homes who would benefit from companionship. The charity pairs residents with volunteers for regular, one-to-one, safe and secure video calls, with matches shaped around shared interests.
- Build a long-term intergenerational friendship
- Have regular conversation and companionship by video call
- Be matched with a volunteer using shared interests, hobbies, culture or language
- Add a familiar voice and something to look forward to each week
- Support can sit alongside the care already provided by a care home
