Blaenau Gwent Intergenerational Connections

So many happy faces at Bankhouse this morning! @rhosyfedwen making people smile and enjoy their Friday morning. Brilliant to see intergenerational activity making it the best day for everyone 😊❤️😊@BGIntergen

Happy intergenerational summer party!! How to make people smile - get a hat and get visiting other generations! Fabulous to see @rhosyfedwen @MrsMartinRYF having such a fun and noisy time at Bankhouse. Enjoy your holidays everyone! #Fridayfeeling @BGIntergen

"Choir has given me a new lease of life" A quote from a resident at Wesley House today. #IntergenerationalProject @StMarysCIW @meredith_john @UnitedWelsh @FfrindIMi @BGIntergen @connect

It's wonderful to see the relationships being built! I hope it's nice and windy for you @brynbachprimary 🌬️

@StMarysCIW This is such great news to see the great work you have been doing has been recognised! @StMarysCiW and @UnitedWelsh Keep singing!!

Congratulations to our Connect Intergenerational Choir who have won the best community project at the 'United Welsh Together Awards' this evening. Well done to all the members and choir leaders. We are all so proud of the project and the work you all do.

Had a great morning with @danielle_dcw and the brilliant pupils from @georgeprimary I absolutely love visiting and the new Digital Heroes can continue the fantastic work you do in @WoffingtonHouse and the local community #DigitalHeroes #Intergenerational

#VolunteersWeek starts in just a couple of days, and we’d like to take the opportunity to highlight the different ways in which people support others to get online as Digital Volunteers around Wales buff.ly/2WhYQVN

A great opportunity to get involved in your community!

@lewis_tink @stmarysciwy5 Well it's all pretty random... back to school for them! I know which one I wouldn't have ;)

Let's do some maths whilst visiting places over half term. Can you see what's wrong? @stmarysciwy5

Trying to think of a name for our fabulous collaborative piece!! Any ideas!? @georgeprimary @FfrindIMi @karenhamer9 @justaniklepixie @Shannicole_x @MEvs74 the colours are a lot brighter in life.... perhaps a piece to be shared at the new hospital in Cwmbran?? @StrangeTanya

Great to see the recognition of the brilliant IG activity going on in Brynmawr! Good luck! @StMarysCIW @UnitedWelsh

It is Dementia Awareness week. I am so proud of the children and adults of the choir performing in their local community today. @StMarysCIW @UnitedWelsh @FfrindIMi @LearnWGrandma @swanbreced @BGIntergen

Could pupils in your school work with a local care home or hospital, to help older people enjoy getting online? Get involved in our #DigitalHeroes initiative! buff.ly/2vXmcAP

Pupils from @StMarysCIW working hard weeding as part of Intergenerational Garden Project @UnitedWelsh @Swanbrec @BGIntergen

So happy to see this happen @StMarysCIW & @UnitedWelsh!

@futuregencymru @AGE_PlatformEU @sophiehowe @talkolderpeople @FfrindIMi It is great promoting intergenerational projects but this must be backed up with funding. Our work in Blaenau Gwent has shown IG activities without appropriate funding can actually exacerbate health and educational inequalities - @sophiehowe we would love to talk about this.

How are you marking EU Day of Solidarity between generations? @AGE_PlatformEU #GensUnited @sophiehowe “One way you can promote #internationalsolidarity is by setting up an intergenerational project.” @talkolderpeople #GenerationsTogether bit.ly/2XY0ZTT @FfrindIMi
