Save Generations Together
The Generations Together programme is seeking bids from all English LAs with social services / children's service responsibilities to submit expressions of interest, in partnership with third-sector organisations, for funding to develop demonstrator sites of intergenerational practice.
We want LAs to consider how they can utilise the talents of our younger and older people, whether it be for their own benefit or the benefit of the whole community. It is a £5.5m programme which will run during 2009-10 and 2010-11. The closing date for applications is 10 June 2009.
The Generations Together demonstrator programme is designed to:
- generate wider interest in and thinking about intergenerational work
- increase the number of volunteers working on intergenerational activity by 20,000 by the end of the programmme
- encourage a more strategic and sustainable approach
- provide robust evidence of the effectiveness of intergenerational initiatives and, in particular, develop evidence about which models are most effective in delivering which outcomes for which groups of people in which situations.
The prospectus, which contains more information about the programme, can be found here, and proposals must be submitted on the application form. Potential bidders may find these frequently asked questions helpful.
