Innovative Intergenerational Award Winner!

We're thrilled to have received an Intergenerational Innovation Award from GrandNanny in celebration of Global Intergenerational Week! 

At Embracing Age, we're passionate about bringing people of all ages together as we know the joy and benefits that come when we share experiences, skills and perspectives into one big melting pot. Joy and benefits for everyone participating in intergenerational experiences, whatever their life stage. 

Huge thanks and congratulations to everyone who is helping us to bridge the generational gap - this award is for you! In particular, many thanks and congratulations to: 
- all our volunteers, whatever their age, who give their time to visit residents or bring joy through cards, knitting, and so many other ways of support
- the babies and young children of our volunteers who bring so many smiles when they come for visits too
- Embracing Age Isle of Wight, pioneering projects with the local girls' brigade making cards for care home residents
- Let's Go Outside and Learn for their partnership with us in bringing together schools and care homes through wonderful intergenerational gardening projects 
- our incredible Schools Liaison volunteers in London Borough of Richmond upon Thames bringing schools and care homes together through other community connections
