The Intergenerational Project is a social enterprise.

Aiming to foster intergenerational connections in the community through our Grand Friends program.

Bringing older adults and children together through play, storytelling, and shared joy. 

Tackling the serious health risks of social isolation and loneliness by fostering meaningful connections.

This is community-building, life-changing impact, for every generation.

We’re building something wonderful, full website coming soon!

We’re excited to be developing a resource toolkit to support Early Childhood Education settings in welcoming Grand Friends into their spaces.

This toolkit will share practical strategies, resources, and inspiration to help educators build meaningful connections between children and older community members.

If you’d like to learn more or be involved, we’d love to hear from you. Reach out and we’ll be in touch.
