Connect was our flagship programme bringing together primary school children with their older neighbours in retirement homes.

Stories from Connect

JAMES

James lives in South West London. The workshops have allowed him to get together with his neighbours and meet younger people.

The workshops are a great joy. I always leave them feeling uplifted. They have definitely enhanced my life.
— James, older neighbour

HASSAN

Hassan is a younger participant on our programmes. His teacher tells us that he has grown in confidence through interactions with his older neighbours.

Hassan’s confidence has grown, as well as his empathy for others.
