At The Together Project, we’ve always believed that bringing generations together makes life better for everyone. A new report from United for All Ages Hope for All Ages: Fifty ways to leave the world a better place by 2050 , shows just how vital this work is.

At The Together Project, we’re all about building joyful, meaningful connections between generations and this spring we launched something brand new!

We couldn’t be prouder of our amazing Programme Coordinator, Sarah Jordan, who’s about to take on one of the UK’s toughest fundraising challenges — the National Three Peaks Challenge.

Becoming a parent can be magical, but let’s be honest, it can also be messy, exhausting and lonely. At The Together Project, we know that one of the most powerful things you can offer a new parent is connection, a moment of joy, a sense of belonging, and a friendly face that says you’re not alone.

Sometimes the simplest joyful moments can spark something extraordinary. That’s exactly what happened when one of our Songs & Smiles sessions at Appleby Blue Almshouse in Bermondsey became the inspiration for a stunning painting — now featured in the Royal Academy’s Young Artists’ Summer Show!

Our Founder and CEO, Louise Goulden, will be taking a break for family reasons. While she’s away, our brilliant Head of Operations, Alexa Sutheran, will be stepping up into the role of Interim CEO.

The Advertising Standards Authority’s latest report (19 June 2025) reveals some eye‑opening stats about how older people are portrayed in ads and how often those portrayals fall flat

Wes Streeting thinks so!

At The Together Project, we’ve long known something special happens when little one, their grownups and older people come together. The smiles, the gentle hand-holding, the genuine connection and shared laughter – they don’t just warm hearts. They change lives.

At The Together Project, we believe that joyful intergenerational experiences can change lives. Whether it's babies and toddlers singing and playing with care home residents at a Songs & Smiles session or the shared pride between a child and their older friend in Crafting Connections, those moments are packed with meaning.

The Together Project won TWO awards at InCommon’s Age Friendly Awards!
These awards celebrate the incredible work happening across the UK to connect generations and we’re over the moon to have been recognised!

The Centre for Ageing Better's latest report, "The State of Ageing 2025," paints a challenging picture for older people across England, highlighting increased loneliness, health disparities, and inadequate housing. Based on these findings, it’s not a great leap to assume there is a rising need for high-quality care home spaces, as more older adults experience poor health and isolation.

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.
