We’ve got some exciting news to share! The Together Project is officially partnering with the National Dementia Care Accreditation Scheme (NaDCAS) – and we’re thrilled to be their first-ever partnership. This collaboration will help us bring even more joy, connection and meaningful moments to people living with dementia in care homes across the UK.

We're so excited to welcome our new volunteer, Hillary! She’s a Walthamstow local with a passion for singing, nature, and even stand-up comedy about science and statistics!

On Friday, 31st January 2025, Haringey will come alive with joy and connection as we celebrate Great Mental Health Day, a borough-wide initiative promoting wellbeing and community. At The Together Project, we’re excited to contribute to this special day with a Songs & Smiles session at Lorenco House, College Road, Tottenham, N17 8EA, at 11am.

Repetition is one of the most powerful tools for child development and for creating a meaningful, enjoyable experience for older residents in our Songs & Smiles sessions. Let us explain why this intentional approach is so beneficial for everyone involved.

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!

Intergenerational friendships—bonds between individuals of different age groups—offer profound benefits, enriching our lives with diverse perspectives and shared experiences.

This festive season, The Together Project is spreading connection and joy through the magic of music. On Friday, 13th December, from 10.45 to 11.15 am, the sound of intergenerational singing will fill 17&Central Shopping Centre in Walthamstow, bringing festive cheer to everyone who stops by.

We’re absolutely delighted to share that Songs & Smiles has been shortlisted for Best Family Arts Activity in the Family Arts Awards 2024! This is a fantastic honour for our team. Each week, I see the magic that unfolds when little ones, their grown-ups, and older people come together through the joy of music—and it’s nothing short of inspiring.

Nursery rhymes may be simple, but they’re far from ordinary. We see it every day in our Songs & Smiles sessions – the way a familiar tune brings pure joy, the way it brings together little ones, grown-ups, and older people in care homes, creating moments of real connection.

In celebration of Trustee Week, we’re delighted to introduce Ashley Alleyne, one of The Together Project’s inspiring trustees.

Ashley joined us almost a year ago, bringing a wealth of experience and a passion for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). His contributions have already had a remarkable impact, helping us shape inclusive practices that benefit both our team and the wonderful communities we work with.

At The Together Project, we know how special Songs & Smiles sessions are for children, their grownups, and residents of care settings. The joy of seeing babies, toddlers, and older people come together through music is hard to beat! Now, thanks to our new partnership with the charity My Life Films, we’re bringing this magic to even more people, allowing older adults to experience Songs & Smiles through My Life TV.

At The Together Project, we’re always searching for ways to enhance the wellbeing and happiness of older people living in care homes and retirement housing, and our partnership with My Life Films is a truly exciting step towards that goal. Together, we’re helping bring the joy of our Songs & Smiles sessions to even more people in a new way—through My Life TV.

A Half Marathon with a difference. Hackney Half is the highlight of London's running calendar. This is an unforgettable weekend of movement, sport and entertainment and you could be part of it!
