We’ve got another request for internet-active-grandparents…
The Department of Children, Schools and Families are looking for grandparentswho used the internet to resolve problems & issues to tell their stories for a short film.
They need to be stories directly related to grandparenting – it could be finding help and advice to deal with specific problems, discovering ways of keeping in touch with grandchildren, advice on working as a team with with parents – or just finding friends online who know how you feel and help you cope . They’re part of a series of short films that will inspire grandparents, amongst others, to get online.
If you’re interested in being involved please contact janeshackleton@wilderfilms.co.uk or give her a call on on 020 7631 3417.
There’s no commitment to being involved at this stage – she can explain more about it and find out if you’re interested. They’re filming between the 6th and 9th January – so you’d need to be available sometime then. As ever the way, they’d prefer someone in London/ the South East – but are interested in stories from all over. And looking out the window at the falling snow right now, who can blame them!

I am a granny who has been helped by having internet access. I talk to my grandchildren every day on skype. The four year old skypes me herself when she wants to. I talk to the children when their parents are cooking supper usually and it keeps them amused for a while, they call me their virtual babysitter. I am also on hand for discussion about childhood ailments and general moans, just like being there in real life… They are spread around the country so it is impossible to visit them regularly as I live on a fairly remote farm. We are one of the lucky ones who have wireless internet from a community network down it the village. Many of my friends can't get the internet. They don't know what they are missing. As I don't live anywhere near London I am no use for your film, unless you want to skype me ;)
