Our Director Vicki has been working hard to raise awareness of the importance of #intergenerational practice and LGNI's role in developing an #AgeFriendly NI. In the current funding climate the key message from us is that #infrastructure support for the community sector is vital to support the delivery of #quality and #sustainable work as well as social change 📢 Big thanks to Michelle McIlveen MLA for her time, advice and support yesterday 🙏 #intergenerational approaches in communities, organisations and settings add value to existing work and provide positive outcomes relating to health and wellbeing, community cohesion, loneliness and isolation, community safety, education, good relations and much more!

Vicki enjoyed meeting with school pupils to prepare them for connecting with residents in their local care home. They are now the second set of students to take part in an #intergenerational programme following the success of last years. We are always so happy to see intergenerational links being sustained and making a positive contribution to #education as well as the lives of all involved 👇
