Find out Why Intergenerational Connection Matters in this upcoming HAPPI Hour webinar
Did you know that Britain is quoted as one of the most age segregated countries in the world with more than half of us feeling that we live in an ageist nation?
Join us as we learn from InCommon, a charity with a mission to fix some of these problems by connecting groups of young people with their older neighbours in retirement housing across London to learn and build friendships together.
