The Together Project

Connecting generations through joy

Regardless of your life stage, social isolation is one of society’s biggest challenges, so our programmes aim to reduce loneliness and foster community togetherness. The idea is simple; we organise activities that unite people who might not normally come into regular contact, with a focus on fun and friendship.

We unite generations through…

  • Nationwide activity programmes

  • Community projects

  • Partnerships and collaborations

  • Training and consultancy

  • Knowledge-share, workshops and speaking opportunities

Our work in action

  • 3,006 beneficiaries in 2023

  • Participants ranged in age from 2 weeks to 102 years

  • 82% of participants felt less lonely

  • 100% of care homes said we brought joy to their residents

“The best thing I’ve been to since becoming a parent!”
— Hazel, mum

“The emotions that come along with Crafting Connections have been surprising. Being so important in someone’s life - enough for them to make and give you a special gift, is of great importance to someone who has never had that in their life.”
— Care home activities coordinator

Blue Monday—dubbed the "saddest day of the year"—falls on the third Monday of January. While it’s not a scientific phenomenon, many people find this time of year tough. The festive season feels like a distant memory, the weather is gloomy, and resolutions can start to lose momentum. But there is a way to lift spirits and brighten those January blues: intergenerational activities!

2025 is here, and so is the perfect excuse to try something new, do some good, and maybe even get a little sweaty. It’s time to say goodbye to the couch and hello to some fun, family-friendly sponsored challenges to support The Together Project!
