Creating Intergenerational Connections Project
Creating Intergenerational Connections Project
LGNI are delighted to have receiving funding support of £4850 from the Halifax Foundation! This funding will enable LGNI staff to develop intergenerational connections between community, care and education settings.
The aim is to connect four settings that support older with four settings that support younger people for intergenerational activities.
LGNI staff are responsible for:
- Identifying the settings
- Developing connections between relevant staff in settings
- Delivering Dementia Awareness Training to younger people
- Consulting with all involved as to their interests/abilities/needs
- Supporting project and activity planning
- Evaluating impact of connections
The participating groups settings are:
- Laurelhill Community College & Laurelhill Care Home
- Bloomfield Collegiate & Johnston Court
- Currie Primary School & Camberwell Court
- St Oliver Plunkett Primary School & Louisville Nursing Home
LGNI are really excited to see the activities that all new intergenerational pairings get up too!
