Welcome to Intergen,

Intergen creates learning opportunities for both older and young people in their own neighbourhoods. It does this by building tailor-made partnerships between local schools and older people, bringing them together for their mutual benefit. Through this special partnership it contributes to the social capital of local areas.

At its 2003 AGM the Chair of Intergen, Professor Norma Raynes said in her report "...our Volunteers are central to the work we are doing to improve understanding and break down barriers between the generations, helping young people to fully develop. Intergen is now a recognised part of national and international initiatives."
