Grandfriends · from LAX
A grandparent figure, a grandchild figure, a friendship for both.
Pairs older people with kind, vetted younger volunteers for a weekly call or visit.
Opening soon. Register your interest and we'll be in touch.
We listen first
A host asks what they enjoy and the company they'd like.
We match with care
Volunteers are verified, interviewed and Garda vetted.
Weekly calls, then visits
Phone calls first. Visits only if both want them.
We stay in touch
We check in regularly. Either can stop any time.
Would you like a grandfriend?
For an older person who'd enjoy a regular chat, or a family member asking for them, with their agreement.
