Our intergenerational programmes bring younger and older people together, helping people of all ages feel more confident and connected to their communities.
Here are just some of the ways you can support our mission and help us build more age-friendly communities for all.
PARTNER with us
Partnerships are key to our impact. Many of our intergenerational activities are delivered in partnership with housing associations and providers of older people’s housing. We’re also lucky enough to work with some brilliant corporate supporters. Get in touch if you’re interested in partnering with us.
VOLUNTEER
Volunteers help support the smooth running of our intergenerational workshops. We offer a flexible volunteer opportunity that’s easy to fit around a busy schedule. Workshops take place at retirement homes across London, including in Hackney, Lambeth, Merton and Wandsworth. Get in touch to find out more.
DONATE
When you donate to InCommon, you are making a difference to younger and older people in London and across the UK. Your support helps bridge generational divides and gives more people the opportunity to feel connected to their communities. As a small charity, your donations go a long way in helping us bring generations together.
fundraise
Whether it’s taking on a fitness challenge like the Hackney Half or organising an intergenerational quiz for friends and family, there are plenty of ways you can support our work. By fundraising for InCommon, you will help combat ageism, boost older people’s wellbeing and improve children’s social and emotional learning.
