Our Values

At Generation Exchange, we believe in the power of connection between generations. Our work is guided by six core values that drive everything we do:

Connection & Community

We bring young and older people together, fostering friendships and stronger, more inclusive communities.

Mutual Learning

Everyone has something to give. We create opportunities for both generations to share skills, experiences, and knowledge.

Respect & Inclusion

We celebrate diversity and ensure that every individual, regardless of age or background, feels valued and included.

Empowerment

We help people gain confidence, develop new skills, and unlock opportunities—whether it’s digital skills for older adults or leadership experience for young volunteers.

Wellbeing & Belonging

We combat isolation and improve mental wellbeing by creating meaningful intergenerational connections.

Volunteering & Social Action

We inspire young and older people to give back, support one another, and make a lasting impact in their communities.
