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: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
Addictive Eaters Anonymous
After ten years of depression, my life had hit rock bottom
I remember being ‘different’ around food for most of my life. This included things such as being the person who had two cream buns at morning tea when everyone else had one; eating icing sugar by the spoonful directly from the packet; and being the family member who went into the kitchen after dinner to eat the leftovers. There are numerous other examples – too many to list. I could overeat anything. If I couldn’t get my preferred favourites (e.g. chocolate), I’d be eating the vegetables.
