Search for 'Ireland's greatest grandparents

Friends of the elderly are teaming up with Specsavers to search for the country's best grandparent to celebrate Ireland's second Grandparent's Day, which occurs on the 28th September. The charity is now seeking people from the North West to nominate their 'grannys' and grandas' for the award. All you have to do is tell Friends of the Elderly in less than 100 words why you believe your grandparent is the best in the country. Not only will they be given the honour of being known as 'The Best Grandparent in Ireland', but the winners will receive a luxury hotel weekend for two.

Friends of the Elderly are also seeking out the fittest grandparent of the year and are appealing to sports organisations to contact them with details of their oldest active members.

Please send your nominations to Dermot Kerwin at Friends of the Elderly, 25 Bolton Street, Dublin or email your nomination to dkirwan@friendsoftheelderly.ie. The closing date for nominations is Monday 22nd September.
