Playful Bridges: Connecting Generations Through Fun
A pilot program of intergenerational events bringing people of all ages together in their local communities.
We successfully held two vibrant events in October 2024 as part of this pilot program, fostering meaningful connections across generations in Torquay and Whittington. The events involved the sharing of food, music, craft and play.
To continue and expand this impactful initiative, we are seeking corporate sponsorship. Your support can help us bring more communities together and create lasting intergenerational bonds. For sponsorship opportunities, please contact us today!
