Bringing Generations Together
A simple online platform with tools for planning, scheduling, delivering & reporting on activities all in one place.
Designed for teachers, scheme managers, activity providers and commissioners who want intergenerational work to be part of everyday life, not an occasional event.
“It is great to see the difference these visits make to our residents, they talk about the visits for a long time after and to see them smiling and interacting is so rewarding.”
Empower is the platform, created by InCommon, that connects generations through shared activities and learning opportunities, helping to reduce social isolation while empowering older adults and young people to actively contribute to their communities.
Designed for teachers, scheme managers and housing associations, Empower helps schools, housing providers and care settings run intergenerational sessions with confidence, structure and ease.
How it works
Matching younger and older neighbours
We match a local housing scheme, or organisation with a school no more than 15 minutes walk away so that the friendships created are based in the community.
Activity hub
You have access to InCommon’s tried and tested methods, workshop plans and activities so you can be sure that the connections are deep and impactful.
Time saving tools
We are all time poor and find it impossible to find space in busy schedules for planning and organising extra activities. Empower supports you to plan and run intergenerational sessions.
