This is a research project running for two years in Gipton about the lives and experiences of young grandparents supporting parents with young children. We are looking at support relationships between generations in families, health needs of grandparents, life in Gipton and how and why things change over time.

If you are a grandparent aged between 30 and 50 years old and would like to know more, or if you are interested in taking part in the project then please call or text Lou on 07527 961880 or e mail l.c.hemmerman@leeds.ac.uk. I can also be contacted via the housing support team at Gipsil Family Centre or Sandra Van Rossum at Gipton Clinic.
