It was party season at InCommon last month with children and older people across London getting together for one last celebration before the end of term.

This week we published The Intergenerational Press - our first magazine made by older and younger people.

InCommon is taking part in an exciting two-year social action programme aimed at connecting generations and embedding youth social action in communities nationwide.

We’re excited to announce that InCommon has secured another round of funding through UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) as part of the Healthy Ageing Challenge.

Our intergenerational social action group has launched a campaign, #RaiseOurVoicesLowerPrices, to help tackle the cost of living crisis.

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.
