Interventions typically have a weak evidence base because older people do not perceive them as desirable or helpful. Group-based activities with a shared interest are preferred to one-to-one support or social groups. Negative views when services are perceived as being badged for targeting lonely older people... so best to be careful and word it in a way that activities with younger people are mutually beneficial, they're not organised out of sympathy but rather to just forge a stronger community etc ]]> 2021-10-20 10:23:54 UTC https://padlet.com/cjackson8076/nnbql0i9zvtba4tv/wish/1829926918 https://padlet.com/cjackson8076/nnbql0i9zvtba4tv/wish/1830223465 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12062-020-09298-z

Intergenerational programmes are one form of intervention which may offer benefits to the care home environment and its residents by engaging people with dementia in new relationships and activities with younger people. This study explored the use of an intergenerational programme called Up which brings together school children and CH residents for weekly visits.

Older adults could volunteer to lead the walks and provide first year fresher students with an insight into their knowledge of the area, including the history of some of Bath's heritage sites, such as the Abbey, Roman Baths and Royal Crescent. Walks in nature are also likely to provide benefits for wellbeing, connectivity and physical health, e.g. reducing the risk of falls in the older adult population.

This would allow ideas to be shared along with learnt experiences and could help to reduce ageism by involving both populations in the University community. Gardening also provides benefits for both physical and mental health. Growing fresh produce to share may also help to support students and older adults with nutritional intake and healthy eating as well as supporting reductions in climate change. To have a greater social impact, any surplus fresh produce could be donated to Bath's Foodbank or Foodcycle schemes and this partnership may provide opportunities for both students and older adults to volunteer in community engagement. ]]> 2021-10-21 10:25:43 UTC https://padlet.com/cjackson8076/nnbql0i9zvtba4tv/wish/1833071606 cjackson8076 https://padlet.com/cjackson8076/nnbql0i9zvtba4tv/wish/1833087904 Urban food gardens are situated at the interfaces between individuals, households, generations, neighbourhoods, communities, public institutions, and market forces. Urban food gardens constitute spaces where a great deal of learning takes place among those engaged in gardening activities. More specifically, this paper explores urban food gardens as learning spaces in which socially organized intergenerational non formal and informal learning takes place. Service-based intergenerational learning in community gardens also serves the education and training of young people in the welfare and care professions (Hegeman, Roodin, Gilliland, & Ó’Flathabháin, 2010). Urban farms and community gardens have developed their activities as providers of day-care facilities for the elderly in addition to the husbandry of animals and the production of food. Therapy gardens and community arts may also provide an opportunity for intergenerational engagement. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15350770.2017.1260369]]> 2021-10-21 10:36:23 UTC https://padlet.com/cjackson8076/nnbql0i9zvtba4tv/wish/1833087904 cjackson8076 https://padlet.com/cjackson8076/nnbql0i9zvtba4tv/wish/1833096766 This paper provides some useful information about the principles of effective intergenerational engagement along with useful objectives and evaluative points to consider when we first plan to develop our project.  Conceive a plan of intergenerational education programs to be developed within the studied community, settled on sustainable bases regarding its development and implementation, with the purpose of fomenting active aging.  Point out the importance of planning intergenerational programs starting from the individuals and communities involved, paying special attention to the specificities of its conception and development, from the active aging point of view. https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Anabela-Martins-3/publication/258998838_Facilitators_and_Barriers_to_Active_and_Healthy_Ageing/links/004635362817c3a60a000000/Facilitators-and-Barriers-to-Active-and-Healthy-Ageing.pdf#page=163]]> 2021-10-21 10:42:18 UTC https://padlet.com/cjackson8076/nnbql0i9zvtba4tv/wish/1833096766 cjackson8076 https://padlet.com/cjackson8076/nnbql0i9zvtba4tv/wish/1833101958  Well Aware is a new, free information resource for everyone in Bristol, South Gloucestershire and Bath and North East Somerset providing help on a range of issues including finding a lunch/ social club to getting support around the home.]]> 2021-10-21 10:45:33 UTC https://padlet.com/cjackson8076/nnbql0i9zvtba4tv/wish/1833101958 cjackson8076 https://padlet.com/cjackson8076/nnbql0i9zvtba4tv/wish/1833103752  National charity providing advice and information to older people, their relatives and carers, on issues relating to community care and housing. ]]> 2021-10-21 10:46:42 UTC https://padlet.com/cjackson8076/nnbql0i9zvtba4tv/wish/1833103752 cjackson8076 https://padlet.com/cjackson8076/nnbql0i9zvtba4tv/wish/1833106740  Exists to help and support people in Bath and North East Somerset so that they can communicate their needs and make informed choices about decisions which directly affect the quality of their lives.
