Bridging Generations, Building Communities
Generation Exchange
Bringing Older and Younger People together through learning to build stronger, more connected communities
Bridging Generations, Building Communities
At Generation Exchange, we believe that when generations connect & learn from each other, communities thrive. By bringing older and younger people together, we create opportunities for learning, sharing, and mutual support. Older adults bring wisdom, life experience, and mentorship, while young people offer energy, fresh ideas, digital know-how, and a new perspective. These meaningful exchanges break down barriers, challenge stereotypes, and combat social isolation—benefiting everyone involved.
Through intergenerational collaboration, we foster stronger connections, lifelong learning, and more inclusive, supportive communities.
WHAT WE DO
Generation Meet Share Exchange
Generation Meet Share Exchange is our intergenerational food project based in the community pub the Antwerp Arms in Tottenham. We enable older people and young people to get together in a relaxed and supportive environment to help, support and to learn and share skills with each other.
IT Exchange
We engage with young people who in turn help older learners improve their IT and digital skills. Our young volunteers are trained and supported to deliver 1:1 IT sessions for older people in the community.
Spanish Exchange
We engage with young people who in turn help older learners improve their Spanish language skills. Our young volunteers are trained and supported to deliver informal group conversational Spanish lessons to older people in the community.
Reading and Numeracy Exchange
We work with older people in the local community who have time to support children in primary and secondary schools and children’s centres. Our older volunteers receive a complete package of training and support in order to provide support for children on a 1:1 basis.
