Partnerships are key to InCommon’s impact.

We partner with housing associations, care homes, schools, youth groups and community organisations to connect people of different ages in meaningful ways that benefit everyone taking part.

We’re also lucky enough to work with some brilliant corporate supporters who support our work through fundraising, volunteering and sponsoring our programmes.

We’re always on the lookout for new, innovative and creative partnerships that can help us further our impact. Fill in our form below to get in touch - we’d love to hear from you!

Housing and care partnerships

Many of our intergenerational programmes take place in the communal lounges of retirement homes and sheltered housing. This helps make our workshops accessible to residents and also gives young people an insight into older people’s housing.

We run our Connect, Social Action and Empower programmes in London and are always looking for new partners. For those outside of London, we can assist you through Empower, our online platform and support offer.

Marten House and London Meed Primary are one of our longest running intergenerational programmes outside of London. Based in West Sussex, they were connected in June 2022 as part of our Empower pilot.

SCHOOLS AND YOUTH GROUPS

Where possible, we partner with schools that are within a 15 minute walk away from retirement schemes and community centres. This means that younger and older people are able to make genuine connections in their communities.

We usually reach out to schools and youth groups once we have a group of older people confirmed. We’d still encourage you to get in touch if you’re interested, just in case something comes up in the future.

Wisewood Community Primary School are partnered with Sutton Heights retirement scheme in Sheffield through our Empower programme. They first met in November 2023.

Corporate Partnerships

We love working with mission-aligned corporates that share our values. There are many ways corporates can get involved, from sponsoring a programme to volunteering at our intergenerational workshops.

InCommon and DIF Capital Partners first met on the DIF Accelerator Challenge, a programme for ambitious startups addressing some of the UK’s most pressing issues. DIF has supported InCommon with corporate fundraising and volunteering since 2022.

Creative AND COMMUNITY partnerships

We love to bring new and exciting activities to our intergenerational programmes. We’re always pleased to hear from charities, community groups and arts organisations about how we can collaborate.
