Our Grandparents

Our Grandparents is the part of our campaign where we support grandparents living with the forced loss of their relationship with their grandchild. 

​​

Based on our Savanta survey in 2022, we estimate that an eighth of the population aged 45+ are prevented from forming, developing and sustaining a relationship with their grandchild. This is significant.

 

Particularly as estrangement and alienation is families is know to have detrimental effects both physically and psychologically.

 

Our typologies describe the situations grandchildren and their grandparents find themselves in. 

​​​

Critical to our mission is that we work with other organisations that support grandparents. This is alongside our work with grandparents on the ground in lobbying for change in law, policy and practice in relation to to both grandchildren and grandparents.
