We are delighted to launch our latest Impact Report. Read it in full here.
From September 2024 to July 2025, we brought together over 500 younger and older neighbours in London and across the UK at 128 intergenerational workshops, partnering with 40 retirement homes and schools to make this happen.
Our flagship Connect programme - now in its sixth year - offered a space for primary school children and their older neighbours to learn and build friendships together. Older neighbours shared their diverse skills and knowledge at workshops, from delivering tours around Greenwich to teaching children how to build miniature scenes out of everyday objects.
We also partnered with The Advocacy Academy, Brixton-based youth organisers, to develop a brand new intergenerational changemaking course in Brixton. Open to people of all ages (0-100+), it ran for 10 months and included sessions on a variety of topics including power, how to run good meetings and conflict resolution.
We continued to deliver our Empower programme in partnership with housing associations and schools across the UK, supporting intergenerational projects in Buckinghamshire, Greater Manchester, South Yorkshire and West Sussex, benefitting more than 300 older people and young people.
We also brought people together during Global Intergenerational Week for the third Age-Friendly Awards, where we celebrated champions of intergenerational connection in communities across England. A huge congratulations to the 12 award winners, all of whom were selected by the Intergenerational Social Action Board (ISAB).
We hope you enjoy reading the stories of connection in this report. We’re proud of what we’ve achieved this year. We wouldn’t have been able to do this without the enthusiasm of our participants and the support of schools, housing partners and funders. Thank you for helping us bring generations together.
