It was a pleasure to welcome Generations Working Together Ayrshire Intergenerational Network Meeting to WG13 last week!

Connecting with groups and organisations from across Ayrshire and hearing first-hand from Natalie and Jane about their inspirational, award-winning project bringing together Ayr Grammar Early Years Centre and Windyhall Care Home โ€“ winners of GWTโ€™s 2026 Excellence Award for Tackling Ageism. โœจ๐Ÿ†

Fantastic to see so many making it along to the Ayrshire Intergenerational Network Meeting in Kilmarnock last week. Many thanks to Natalie Fallan from Ayrshire Grammar Early Years Centre and Jane Harkness from Windyhall Care Home, GWTโ€™s 2026 Excellence Award Winners for Tackling Ageism, for coming to speak about their intergenerational project. Hearing first hand of the impact the project has had on the children, older adults and wider community was invaluable and inspirational. Great connections were made sparking exciting opportunities for partnership. We explored how intergenerational practice can bring people of all ages together and help build stronger, more connected communities.

We are inviting third sector organisations across East Ayrshire to register meaningful volunteering opportunities for participating parents.

Placements should give volunteers a genuine opportunity to contribute, develop skills and gain experience, with an appropriate induction and ongoing support from the organisation.

The project is particularly aimed at parents who face financial or travel barriers to volunteering, including those who may be unemployed, on a low income, experiencing financial hardship or social isolation, returning to structured activity after time away from employment, or living in areas with limited transport options.

๐Ÿ’™ Our aim is simple: a parent should not miss out on a valuable volunteering opportunity simply because they cannot afford to get there.

CVO East Ayrshire can support organisations and parents throughout the process, from referrals and matching opportunities to travel support, participation and monitoring outcomes.
