We’re proud to have helped more than 3,000 people make an intergenerational connection.
“I used to stay indoors because of my
arthritis but then the children started
coming, filling the air with joy
and laughter. It prompted me to get a
support walker so I could come to the
sessions. Now, whenever I can, I go
outside with it.”
“Often we’re stuck in places where we’re with people of similar ages like school and the workplace, but if we see people from different generations and different backgrounds it opens our minds to what life has been and what it could be.”
