With the summer holidays fast approaching we are sad to say that this may be our final summer of intergenerational activities! After ten years and making thousands of people smile it is looking scarily like the end 🥺

With funding at an all time low and none of our grants being a success it looks like our beautiful work may be over ❤️‍🩹

We are trying everything we can to get some grants in, or donations of any kind to keep this amazing work going, we make such a difference to hundreds of older people and children’s lives and desperately want to continue!

If anyone knows of any funding pots locally or anything that may help our incredible work continue we would be so so grateful 🙏

If you work in a care home and would like to self fund this incredible work then please get in touch, we can do weekly, twice monthly or even monthly. The sessions improve wellbeing and truly bring such joy.

There are moments in life that are truly so beautiful, that you wish you could pause time and share with everyone. Well I managed to get a few snapshots of that day, today.

Thank you to all the wonderful residents at Willowbank Carehome and of course the children from Hadfield Infant School

We celebrated Elmer day and just had so much fun, sharing such happy and beautiful memories.

VE DAY celebrations at Willowbank Carehome!

It was a beautiful day with the children from Hadfield Infant School visiting to make the residents crowns and cakes for their VE Day party.

I think you can see from the looks on everyone’s faces that everyone loved it 🩷

Thankyou to all the amazing staff for welcoming us all.

Easter at Pennine Care!

This afternoon the lovely children from All Saints Primary visited Pennine with us and what a lovely afternoon we had!

An Easter quiz, with chocolate egg prizes!

Daffodils and cards handed out to the lovely residents (provided by Be Well/ given from the children) - we do this as for some residents it’s been a long long time since someone bought them flowers and the smiles it brings as priceless!

And some Easter egg crafts that we have left for staff to decorate the residents rooms with.

We hope all these wonderful children have a lovely two week Easter break and we can’t wait to see you all again soon! 🐣

WILLOWBANK 🏡

It was so good to be back at Willowbank today.
We started a new project with a new set of children from Hadfield Infant School and my heart is now so full.

The children proudly and very bravely introduced themselves, and the residents were delighted to meet them all! We created Easter bags, and name badges and even finished with a few nursery rhymes!

It was beautiful to start a new group, with more Intergenerational work happening across Glossop & Hadfield 💛

Thankyou to Sarah Jackson, Fern and team!
