It's overwhelming sometimes to be approached by organisations on the other side of the world who are keen to learn from LGNI's work and experience in the field 🌍

Our former Director and supporter Vicki Titterington was delighted to meet with Taiwan to share LGNI's learning and inspiration 😊

Our fab trustee George was honoured to represent LGNI at the recent My Home Life Northern Ireland celebration event in Ulster University 🤩🎉

My Home Life is a Programme that promotes quality of life and delivers positive change in care homes for older people. practice and activities in care homes make a massive contribution to residents and improve practice so we are big My Home Life supporters!

George manned an info stand and chatted with attendees from Care Homes to spark their enthusiasm for developing intergenerational approaches and to signpost them to LGNI opportunities and support!

Thanks for the opportunity and to all the people he met 🙌
