Bridging generations for healthier communities
Category: Picture of health

With medical advances increasing lifespan, it is crucial that psychological wellbeing is maintained also. Working with West Lothian Council, primary schools and community organisations, and older adult volunteers, we are investigating the potential health, wellbeing and social benefits for older adults participating in activities with younger generations. The outcomes aim to inform public policies that respond to the challenges of an ageing society, as well as the child attainment gap.
