Grandfather Wanted!

Posted in All posts, What We're Up To

SophieIt’s Sophie again.  I posted down below about BeGrand.net – our new venture setting up a website for grandparents

We’re looking for a grandfather to join the Advisory Board of the site.  The Board is made up of wise people who scrutinise our plans and ensure we’re making a site that really works for Grandparents.

We’ve already got grandmothers, specialists in digital inclusion experts in issues that affect older people and people who run big websites already on board – we’re just missing the perspective of one or two grandfathers…

  • You need no specialist skills.  
  • You do need to be a keen grandfather.  
  • You need to be comfortable talking about your opinions, discussing and responding to other people’s.

The Board will meet approximately every 3 months for the next year or so.   The first meeting is in London in early November.  It’s not a paid post in terms of time, though  expenses may be met.  

So, if you’d like to find out more (and there’s no commitment at this stage)  or would be interested in taking part – please contact harriet.mathie@begrand.net

If it’s not for you, but might be for someone you know, please pass this on…

    One Response to “Grandfather Wanted!”

    1. Hello

      We’ve had a really great response to this. We’ve now got 4 DU grandfathers giving us their wise advice on the BeGrand.net Advisory Board. It met for the first time last week and they were full of interesting opinions….

      Thanks very much to those who got in touch.
