The Church is possibly one of the few places in our society where different generations can mix, outside our families. Older people have a vital role in supporting and encouraging younger generations to encounter, develop and deepen a relationship – with each other and with God.
Leeds Older Peoples’ Forum has produced a new report called Leeds Generations United featuring eight intergenerational projects, as well as one project’s vision for future intergenerational work. There are some great ideas in this report, some of which might inspire parishes to think about the ways you might develop the great intergenerational work already happening in your churches and you can read the report it here .
