The Grandcarers project seeks to address the disadvantage experienced by grandparents when taking on a full-time carer role for their grandchildren.  Grandcaring is often based on an informal agreement, with this cohort often being elderly and disconnected to the needs of their grandchildren. Grandcarers often need to exit the workforce to take on the carer responsibilities, which increases mental and financial stress, and the loss of social networks enhances the likelihood of social isolation.  Grandcarers meet on the first monday of each month at the Masonic Hall, 56 Cheery St, Ballina from 11.30am - 1pm (lunch is provided)

Wednesdays from 9am to 3pm, however, you can leave a message Mon to Fri 8.30am - 4.30pm
