Client Stories

Inspiring stories from SuperGrans clients, photos and more.

  • “The SuperGrans sewing classes held in the Feilding Library have been helping me to achieve my goal of learning to sew so I can teach my daughters and make things for them.

    The classes have been fantastic so far. I have made muslin wraps, a skirt, a blanket and an outfit for my new born baby.  have learnt how to cut out patterns and how to sew in zips.

    I look forward to attending more classes, to learn different techniques and to improve my skills.”

  • "We do our activity every Thursday and super excited every Thursday as they have so many different activities that we've really gained a lot from cooking to budgeting heaps of ideas too.

    How to make our household a better place and each one of them are so friendly and very helpful.  I am so blessed that I attended this group aside from I found really really good friends and the supergrans activities are just so awesome.

    I hope they won't get tired of this workshop and continue to help people with great ideas.”

  • Suvitra is a recent migrant from Fiji. She and her husband have a wee boy who is nearly two and she loves bringing him along to the workshops where he plays outside in the sun with the other children.

    She also is one of the first to get involved in the workshops and is learning new ideas for meals.  Suvitra enjoys spending time with the other parents and it is helping her build her proficiency in English as well.

  • "Being involved in SuperGrans has been really good for me, I started off with doing the parenting course. Have joined for 4 sessions of cooking, its a great way to get out of the house, learn some new skills and be open minded to new learning for a better future. Thank you SuperGrans for giving me this opportunity and for all the time and effort the tutors and facilitators put into us as participants." - Sean
