We’re proud to have helped more than 2,900 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.

The workshops have made me want to engage with other generations more and have shown me what’s possible.
