Description of service
Started in 2013 - The adopt-a-grandparent event’s aim is to remind us of the spirit of Christmas, and gives you the opportunity to give something back to our senior generation by visiting them at Christmas for a chat / cup of tea and presenting them with a personalised gift. It is different from the APN Adopt-a-Family Appeal - in that you get to know a bit about your adoptee, and see their face light up when you hand over their gift, tears can be expected! How much you spend is completely up to you (we encourage a minimum of $20), and if you would like to join up with a friend and each buy a gift for the same resident that is also encouraged as I’m sure we’ll have enough adopters to go around.
