Intergenerational Care - Growing Up and Growing Old Together (360G-phf-31534)

Elly Hargreave has been inspired by successful pilots of intergenerational care in a variety of countries. These examples house nursery childcare within care homes for elders. There have been many benefits found to providing daily interaction for elders and nursery aged children. Her initiative is called 'Intergenerational Care UK' @CareAcrosAges on twitter. She is investigating the feasibility of introducing a similar scheme in the UK, hoping to develop a plan to engage interested partners, devising a sustainable business model and securing future investment. The project will benefit from both Elly’s personal life experiences of care for elders and young children along with her work in PR and Communications and having previously set up and led a national charity, now in it's 23rd year.
