Letter in The Guardian today.

There are over 1 million grandparents in the UK who are denied contact with their grandchildren due to family breakdown. This can be due to separation or divorce, drug or alcohol issues, bereavement or family feud, leaving grandparents feeling isolated and alone, not knowing where to turn. We run a support group based in Bristol which offers support and advice. We are an independent group with no membership fees. We are looking for grandparents who are in this heartbreaking situation to set up groups of their own. All that is needed is a listening ear and an understanding of what a devastating issue this is. It has been six and a half years since I have had any contact with my granddaughter and setting up BGSG has turned a negative into a positive. Please get in touch if you feel you could set up a group; we will give you all the help and support to get it off the ground.
