The aim of this paper is to make a quick overview of the literature concerning not only the variety of concepts of ageing and activities that older people may take in their free-time, but also the significance of intergenerational family relationships, especially the grandparents-grandchildren relationship. On this background authors’ own research on this topic is presented. The obtained results confirmed the hypothesis that younger grandparents are more vital and have more free-time activities than the older. Moreover, the findings indicate the importance of role that grandparents may play in grandchildren’s life (‘stabilizer’, ‘family national guard’, ‘arbiter’, ‘historian’) regardless of their age. It is also shown that with increasing age and declining social networks grows the need to maintain close contact with younger generations of the family.
