25.01.2022 In line with the SA Lockdown instructions announced by the Premier, our office will be closed for the next six days with a scheduled reopening on Wednesday 25 November. While we will be unable to attend our telephones to take your calls, you will still be able to contact either myself or your Carer Advocate by email. Clearly we are upset with this situation but understand, accept and support its implementation.... Warm regards Peter Biber CEO See more

16.01.2022 Our mobile outreach service takes us to some beautiful locations and we get to meet some amazing people who share their stories with us. Some time ago we met Louisa and her granddad David who live in the Riverland. Quiet Louisa has a passion for art and a talent for drawing and hopes to one day turn it into a career - it was with great delight that we were able to surprise Louisa with $200 worth of art supplies at our recent GFGSA Waikerie Village meeting and hopefully kickstart her future. This is why we love what we do!

15.01.2022 It's extraordinary to think that 12 months ago Grandparents For Grandchildren SA were the proud and happy recipients of a major Impact100 South Australia grant! On the 28th October we were given the opportunity to tell Impact 100 members how that award had impacted our organisation and service delivery. We now operate mobile outreach across most regional areas and have plans to reach further, establishing GFGSA Grandparent/Kinship Carer Support Villages in targeted areas. ...If we haven't reached you yet, stay tuned, we will! Our client numbers continue to grow and we will continue to provide the same high level of care and support to those carers who often fall 'between the cracks'. So thank you Impact 100, we have maximised every cent of your generous grant! Pictured below are GFGSA Carer Advocate Colleen Hanlon, CEO Peter Biber, board member David Egege and Chairman, Wayne Turner. And congratulations to this year's grant winners JusticeNet SA and Cottages 4 Country Care! See more
