This August, we are launching a report by Dr Ali Somers evaluating our intergenerational programmes over the past 12 months.

Today we launch a collection of short stories written by children and their older neighbours during lockdown.

Brian and Jody write about their experience of taking part in InCommon Buddies.

At the start of April we launched our Buddies programme as a way to keep intergenerational relationships going at a time when we needed them most. Here are our reflections 3 months on.

We’ve partnered with Clarion Futures to research the impact of Covid-19 on intergenerational initiatives and intergenerational relationships across the UK, looking at the challenges, opportunities and learnings that the crisis has presented. Today we share our findings and launch our report.

Looking for activities to do with grandchildren or grandparents while we’re all staying at home? Try out these ideas to help younger generations spend some quality time with older friends, relatives and neighbours - and give parents a bit of a hand keeping little ones entertained!

We’re celebrating a milestone this week - over 1000 people have come to one of our workshops and had a chance to find something in common with someone of a different age.

Evacuation, rationing and wartime memories often come up at our workshops. Last week, one of the residents brought along some truly historical documents to show the children.

The same school, 80 years apart. Bexley pupils were thrilled to meet someone who’d been a pupil at their school when it was first built, back in 1941.
