About
BeGrand.net is a new website specifically for grandparents.
Grandparents are more important than ever in modern families. You can’t put a price on the value they bring to a child’s life.
But though being a grandparent can be wonderful, it isn’t always easy. We’re building a site where grandparents can…
- Find information, advice and support on everything from fun, free things to do with their grandchildren, to serious issues like grandparents’ legal rights.
- Make friends with other grandparents and share their expertise, knowledge and ideas online.
- Get answers to their questions from our trained advisors.
There’s more about modern grandparents, the role they play, the challenges they face and why they need supporting here.
Who is building the site?
The site is being built by a consortium of partners. You can find out more about us here.
When is it launching? What’s next?
It’s due to launch in early 2010 and you can read about our progress on this blog. Or you can sign up to receive occasional emails about it here. (We promise not to send you lots of spam!).
As the site grows, it will change. It will belong to the people who use it, and they will influence and alter what it covers. We’re really interested to know what you think now, as we work on it.
If you work with families or older people, if you’re interested in online communities, if you’re a grandparent (or a grandparent-to-be), if you have just strong opinions about what we should cover or you want to work with us to help grandparents across the country, get in touch here.
