At InCommon we’re rounding the year off with a recap of our autumn term activities and a celebration of our festive intergenerational workshops. 

We’ve been reflecting on how to bring greater inclusivity to our intergenerational activities.

We’re launching our latest impact report capturing the work we’ve done over the last year.

As we come to the end of our programmes for this school year, we’re looking back on our intergenerational activities over the last few months.

We’ve just released the first issue of The Senior Press - a magazine made by older people for their younger neighbours.

InCommon has been awarded funding by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) as part of the Healthy Ageing Challenge. More than 30 projects run by social enterprises across the UK have been selected to share nearly £3 million to tackle the impacts of ageing.

At InCommon, we’ve seen first hand how beneficial intergenerational connections are to building more age friendly communities and combating ageist attitudes.

This week, we publish Issue 2 of The Children’s Press; a magazine created by children from our partnered schools for older people in their local communities.

We're launching Hand Warmers Against Heating Costs as a way to team up with Age UK and older and younger people across the country to campaign against rising energy bills.

As we come to the end of 2021, we’re reflecting on a busy term starting a new set of intergenerational projects that connect children and young people with older neighbours in their local communities.

We’re very excited to launch the Generations Swap Cookbook - a collection of recipes from people of all ages across the UK.

Today we launch our annual impact report for 2020-21 – a record of the work we have done with younger and older people over the last year.

Our two newest team members, Laila and Zakiyah, reflect on what it’s like to do the Kickstart Scheme at InCommon.

As we come to the end of Pride Month 2021, our Programme Officer Alex Eisenberg reflects on an exciting new partnership with Tonic and METRO to explore LGBTQ+ intergenerational connection.

We’re calling on young and old across the country to swap their favourite recipes and be part of our intergenerational cookbook.

It’s been an unexpected start to the year for us all - here’s what we’ve been up to during our third lockdown.

Last week we made some cards with a difference for the launch of our intergenerational social action project with Spotlight and Langdon Park School.

Older and younger neighbours on our programmes have started the school year sending postcards to introduce themselves to one another.

Our local communities need us more than ever. It’s time to bring generations together to take action.

Earlier this week our co-founder Laura Macartney was interviewed by BBC Radio London about how we’ve been connecting generations during covid-19.
