Intergenerational Volunteer Project

Young Bristol is working in partnership with the Youth and Play Service and other organisations to deliver an intergenerational volunteer project in, as part of the Inspiring Communities programme. The project brings together 11-14 year-olds and the over-50s through community activities and events, and aims to improve relationships and understanding between the two groups.

Young girls fromCentre host a regular tea party in the library for residents of theClose sheltered housing scheme. Everyone enjoys the event and conversation is varied and interesting, with topics ranging from school and family experiences to life in the Land Army and relationships. We are hoping to set up a similar event for residents of The Chalet just off Station Road, and other shared activities are also in the pipeline.

If you have any suggestions for activities, would like to get involved or just want some more information, please contact Chloe Young Bristol on 0117 9537921, or by e-mail at cs@youngbristol.com. There will also be posters in Library and other community hotspots advertising upcoming activities and events.
