Joining Old & Young (JOY Projects) - bring together generations
Surrogate Grandparents New Zealand Charitable Trust is an organisation whose passion is bringing together our generations to prevent social isolation and loneliness, and bring joy and companionship to all.
We currently run a Family match programme that connects families with surrogate grandparents for long lasting friendships and family bonds. www.surrogategrandparents.org.nz...
Last year, we trialled an Intergenerational playgroup on the Hibiscus Coast and would would love to expand this to other areas, as well as launch a number of other "JOY projects", for example:
* JOY book buddies - bringing generations together for reading and the joy of books.
* JOY arts and crafts - sharing the joy of knitting, crochet, photography and many other arts and crafts.
* JOY music & movement - sharing the love of all styles of music and movement/dance
* JOY Outdoors - sharing the love of nature, the environment, gardening, the local community and adventures.
We would love to have an opportunity to be a part of the Neighbourly/AMI Community Grants programme to be able to bring these JOY projects to life within our communities in New Zealand. We will partner with other community organisations to ensure the projects flourish and bring JOY to all involved.
Do get in touch if we can assist with any further information:

Poll: Would you want an unconventional funeral?
Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving. Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.

Celebrating Our Resident Authors On World Book Day
It was World Book Day on the 23rd of April, so what better time to celebrate some of our talented residents who have published books.
They range from children’s books, to poems, from non-fiction to a first novel - and all are proof that there is no age limit when it comes to creativity!
