Charitable objects
The objects of the Char5ty are as follows:
to advance the education of pre-school children in their cognitive,
social, emotional and physical development through the provision of
educational activitie5 and interattion with older people.
to relieve the need of older people by preventing loneliness through
the provision of social interartions with pre-school children.
Safeguarding
Over the reporting period Trustees have taken their safeguarding
responsibilities very seriously and worked together to maintain a strong
culture of safeguarding across everything the Charity does. This is of
fundamentsl importance as the Charity works alongside vulnerable
children, young and older people. All Trustees and the staff team are aware
of, trained and kept up to date on all govemment safeguarding
expectations in line with the most updated statutory guidance Keeping
Child￿n Safe in Education 2024. Trustees have robust child protection and
safeguarding policies and procedures that relate to both children and
vulnerable adults (Care Act 2014).
Equality and Diversity
Ready Generations respects and values difference. As a charity directly
providing services, it recognises the importance of setting out a clear
commitment to promoting fairness and tackling discrimination. Since Ready
Generations received charitable status in 2019 our Equality and Diversity

Achievements and performance
Over the reporting year, the Charity has continued to develop Its largest
projett in partnership with Belong Ltd, a registered society under the Co-
operative and Communities Benefit Societies Act 2014 (registered number
27346R). Belong Ltd is a provider of care villages across the North West of
England. This project involves the operation of a 24 place intergenerational
nursery in the heart of Belong Care Village Chester. The intergeneratlonal
nursery (The Nursery in Belong) and care village are now in their second
year of operation, opening together in August 2022. The intergenerational
nursery is a groundbreaklng project nationally, as it is the first fully
integrated intergenerational nursery to be opened in the heart of a care
facility.
The Nursery brings pre-school children and older people together on a daily
basis using a bespoke Mirrored Care and Learning Framework created by
Ready Generations. The Framework ensures that the￿ are clear and robust
expectations around the planning and provision of joint experiences and
opportunlties wlth a focus on lifelong learning, wellbeing and purposeful
social interaction. The Nursery continues to be major project for the Charity
with a growing staff team of ten employees and two regular volunteers.
The impact of the project has gained increasing national and international
interest over the course of the year. This has included academic research

interest and media attention. The work of the Charity has featured on a
number of television channels including world news organisatlons, Sky
News and Deutsche Welle who filmed in the Village and Nursery.
Through this growing interest we have extended awareness of our work:

Conference
In November 2023 we hosted our first national conference supported by
Theatre Porto, Ellesmere Port and sponsored by arts organisation, Curious
Minds. The conference, looking at intergenerational creativity, attracted
over 100 cross-sector delegates from education, social care, local
authorities and the voluntary sector. Feedback was exceptional and
planning for a second conference is underway for 2025.
Intergenerational Leadershlp Learnlng Days
Over the year we have hosted three successful Intergenerational
Leadership Learning Days where interested colleagues can spend a ful I day
with the Charity to visit the intergenerational nursery, take part in some
intergeneratlonal experiences, tslk to older people and undertake
professional development. The days have attracted a wide range of
professionals including museum and art gallery curators, school
leaders/teachers, local authorlty development teams and socSal care
managers. Numbers for each day have been capped at 12 to prevent
disturbance to residents and child￿n.

Partnerships and collaboration

charities, social enterprises, think tanks and campaigns In order to support
the collective development of intergenerational thinking. Over the reporting

Academic research
Over the reporting year, we have increased our research work through
three programmes:
Born4Llfe
This continues to be a national programme, working with outstanding
nursery providers to research different approaches to bringing
generations together for the benefit of both. A research paper has
been accepted through the international Journal of Intergenerational
Relationships with publication experted in August 2024.
Living Lives Together - Harniony Wheels Programme.
This a research programme considering the potential of the creative
arts to improve health, wellbeing and learning for people of all ages.
A research evaluation report, produced in partnership with the
University of Central Lancashire (UCLAN) is expected in September
2024.
Falls Preventlon In Intergenerational Settings
This is an exploratory study with The University of Liverpool. It is
centred on community-based intergenerational activities focusing on
the concept of 'fall' and fall prevention amongst older people and
children.
Interyenerational Champions
We have increased the number of intergenerational champions through our
Intergenerational Champions Recognition Scheme to 8. Several of the
champions who are resident at the Belong Village have progressed to
become daily support educators helping the children in structures ways with
reading, phonics and science. We have also built an active volunteering
profile by working more closely with Live Cheshire. We now have two adults
with learnlng dlsabilities who volunteer in the Nursery every week. Over
io

the year their confidence has grown and they are both valued members of
the nursery team.
Storyteller in residence
Richard O'Neill MBE continues to work closely with us as our storyteller in
residence and lead advocate. Richard is an internationally renowned
storyteller, playwright and author. He vislts regularly involving all ages in
creative storytelling and woodworking experiences. The popularity of his
visits has led us to purchase and set up a bespoke woodworking area in the
Nursery with a range of power tools and resources that the children and
their older friends are able to use together. Richard's input over the year,
has enabled us to develop our ideas around the importance of creative
health and wellbeing economics. As a result we now work more closely with
our local social prescribing team and Cheshire HealthBox to extend our
reach into the most marginalised and excluded groups, particularly those
living with dementia in their own homes.
Sankofa Songsters Interyenerational Choir
We continue to work closely with Amanda Wrigley, from Llve the Beat, who
has become our creative lead. Our intergenerational choir has gone from
strength to strength and now has over 60 members from the ages of 10
months to Iolyears. The choir is managed by a small member led steering
group and has performed publicly on several occasions. For example, in
March 2024, the Songsters hosted a Great Intergenerational Sing-a-Long
for local care settings, schools, nurseries and the wider community. This
was attended by over 150 people of every age and extremely well-received.
There are plans to repeat this event in December 2024.
Creative Health Opportunities
Further work wlth Amanda, has Introduced a weekly Intergenerational Stay
and Play Session. This is targeted primarily at young families and older
people living with dementla and thelr carers. The session uses playful
approaches to engage and enjoy music together.

Potential barriers
The Charity is realistlc that this is groundbreaking work, cUr￿ntrY with low
levels of political interest. However, the range of unmet needs across all
ages and the ageing demographic suggest that national action is needed
urgently. We intend to be ￿adY to contribute meaningfully to any emerging
dlscussion. In the meantime we highlight a number of challenges that we
will be focussing attention towards over 2024-5:
availability of funding and resources
knowledge, skills and understanding of professionals to drive agenda
forwards
possibility of redirecting resources from reactive sendice delivery to
more reciprocal, self-serving community models
the continuing limitations in joined up working and co-creation across
sectors
responses to the lack of strategic vision for preventative community
