We connect primary schools in London with local retirement homes for a year of intergenerational learning and fun. Children and older people attend monthly workshops where they learn more about themselves and each other through conversation-based activities and creative projects. All of our workshops are designed to boost connection, confidence and wellbeing for people of all ages.

Our intergenerational workshops usually last around an hour. We start with some ice breakers, so we can get to know each other better and then move onto a creative activity. As our programmes are co-designed, many of the ideas for activities come directly from young people and older people.

Some recent activities include: finding out about each other’s life stories, designing dream museums, storytelling and playing our favourite childhood games.

We’re always looking for new partners to deliver our programmes, particularly providers of older people’s housing. Find out more and contact us here.
