What we do
Brighter Together brings together older adults and Early Years children through fun, activity-led sessions that spark connections and support children’s development. These weekly sessions enhance wellbeing and allow for these two age groups to build meaningful connections, fostering purpose and inclusion across ages.
Why we do it
We are living in one of the most age-segregated countries in the world.
A Divided Kingdom revealed that 94% of children in the UK do not live near anyone aged 65 or over, and only 7% of care home residents have regular interaction with someone under the age of 30.
This generational divide has a profound impact on children’s life chances, while many older people are left feeling isolated and alone.
Moments of genuine connection and purpose have never mattered more.
Our vision
Our vision is a society where age doesn’t divide us; it unites us in shared purpose and genuine friendships. Brighter Together’s mission is simple yet powerful – to bring our youngest and oldest generations together to improve wellbeing for everyone.
