"I think... volunteer in something that you are interested in, passionate about. You don’t have to know anything about it... but I think if you are passionate then that comes through."

The Together Project is a national charity with the primary aim of connecting members of various ages through boosting wellbeing and fostering a sense of community. The group works to end age segregation and reached over 3,000 beneficiaries in 2023.
The Project hosts a series of activities meant to combat loneliness among older age groups and the “age apartheid” of the UK by hosting intergenerational creative events. Their Songs & Smiles project brings the young and old together through weekly singing and dancing parties. Crafting Connections is an arts & crafts exchange where children are paired with care home residents to deliver art pieces each month. Lastly, We are Friends hosts storytelling sessions for under 5-year-olds and older people to enjoy free stories and rhymes.
