Intergen is a Community Interest Company,
Company No. 6851855

We exist to make children, young people, teachers and older people happy and proud of their achievements through working together in schools.

VISION

Intergen’s vision is a society in which schools, and older people come together in local communities in a partnership for their mutual benefit, promoting community cohesion as well as learning opportunities for everyone.

MISSION

Intergen’s mission is to make a positive difference to the lives of children, teachers and older people. We achieve this by creating and sustaining robust partnerships between schools and older people in local communities throughout the UK.

OUR JOURNEY

In 1999 Professor Raynes working with the then head teacher of Sale Grammar School, ran an Intergen pilot in the school. Following the pilot the current Intergen model was developed. Two primary schools; Springfield and Worthington Road, in Sale, joined with SGS to form the first Intergen neighbourhood cluster of schools.

Over 12 years the model was tested in three different neighbourhoods, involving 9 different schools. It was shown to be robust and have beneficial outcomes for all the partners. Established as a charity in Trafford, it was decided in 2008 to set up a Community Interest Company so it could be shared nationally. The work started in Trafford continues to grow and more schools, pupils and older people are now enjoying being part of Intergen there.
