A message from our CEO

It has been another busy year for InCommon and we have continued to be guided by our values:

We have worked in more counties, towns and cities across England, with more older adults and younger participants — not just in schools but also in the community. We truly have included everyone , from co-designing our Connect and Social Action workshops to sharing a seat at the table in the How to Make Change programme.

'We are all learners.' The whole team learned how to share our story by codesigning our new Theory of Change. Measuring our impact and sharing our stories ensures that we are moving the dial in a positive direction, building more connected communities. It also helps us map out plans for future growth.

We know that the majority of lonely older adults are not in supported living but in their own homes, so we have worked to find ways to support people in the community as well as in residential homes.

We took our work to where people are, partnering with Cambridge Council to co-design an intergenerational walking project, participating in The Sciences of Ageing and the Culture of Youth (SAACY) programme, and working with a group of residents in Tower Hamlets on the Sidney Street Mural. These projects, along with our programmes in retirement settings where residents set the pace and the direction, have given the team and me so much delight this year!

Finally, in recognition of the team’s hard work, we won the Team of the Year award at the Women in Housing and Housing Heroes celebration in June. Their passion is what makes the charity so successful, illustrating how we believe in purpose .

Thank you so much to everyone who supported us in this year. We truly appreciate our older and younger participants, the scheme managers, the teachers and school secretaries, the care teams, our funders and our Trustees for sharing the joy!

- Hannah Kayi Mason, CEO

believes in a future where generations can come together in a connected and inclusive society.

Who we are

InCommon is a charity bringing generations together. We create opportunities for young people and older people to learn from one another, fostering mutual inspiration, growth, and a stronger sense of community.

For us, intergenerational activities aren’t just a ‘nice to have’, they’re an essential response to the increasingly ageist and disconnected communities we live in and the harmful effects this has for people of all ages, from reduced confidence to poorer physical and mental health.

With ageism referred to as one of the last socially acceptable forms of discrimination, there has never been a1 more pressing time to bring generations together.

Since 2017, we have connected more than 150 retirement homes and schools, helping more than 3,500 people build friendships with someone from a different generation.

What we do

Our intergenerational programmes create a space for young people and their older neighbours to connect over co-designed activities that are fun, accessible and fit for all ages. Our three main programmes are Connect, Social Action and Empower.

CONNECT

Connect is our flagship programme, bringing together primary school children with their older neighbours in retirement homes. Children and older people attend monthly workshops where they learn about themselves and each other and take part in creative projects together.

SOCIAL ACTION

Our intergenerational social action programme connects young people with older people in their communities to creative positive change. Younger and older neighbours work together to identify a common issue, learn key skills around campaigning and develop their own community action.

EMPOWER

Our Empower programme helps older people and young people connect across the UK. We give staff in older people’s housing, care homes and schools the knowledge and skills to connect generations through our innovative online platform.

The activities organised by InCommon are imaginative, clever and make you think - they’re not levelled at the lowest denominator! OLDER NEIGHBOUR

How it works

Through our intergenerational programmes, we provide regular opportunities to connect, try new things and interact with different kinds of people. This helps boost connection, confidence and wellbeing among people of all ages, resulting in stronger, more resilient communities where people of all ages can thrive.

REAL LIFE CONNECTION

Intergenerational workshops take place in accessible locations, such as communal lounges of retirement settings removing barriers for older people at risk of isolation. Our expert intergenerational facilitators design activities that suit every age and level and are designed to get people talking across the generations. This helps older people stay connected, while also giving young people the opportunity to practice oracy and develop in confidence.

CHALLENGING AGEIST STEREOTYPES

Our activities are designed to reduce self-directed ageism by increasing older people’s confidence, skills and self-worth. Older people take an active role in young people’s learning, contributing their skills, interests and diverse life experiences at workshops, giving them a renewed sense of purpose and value. At the same time, young people feel more optimistic about their future lives and more positive about ageing through these positive interactions with older people in the community.

UNIQUE LEARNING EXPERIENCES

Our workshops offer an alternative pathway to learning and social engagement. Interacting with different adults in this unique out of classroom environment gives young people the opportunity to develop confidence and gain skills relating to empathy and communication (e.g. curiosity and active listening), all of which help with future emotional and educational outcomes. Older participants also learn from their younger neighbours, gaining new skills and knowledge that helps them feel more engaged with the changing world we live in.

The children are inspiring. They make me want to get up and go. OLDER NEIGHBOUR

The year in numbers

We brought together over 500 younger and older neighbours for intergenerational fun and learning, partnering with 40 retirement homes and schools to make this happen. We also supported an additional 100 older and younger people by supporting Clarion’s ambassador projects, and through collaborations with the voluntary sector in Cambridge to deliver intergenerational activities.

Our intergenerational workshops

Most of our programmes run for a full academic year, from autumn to summer. Older and younger neighbours get to know each other better by meeting each month and doing a variety of activities together, from storytelling to skill sharing.

AUTUMN 2024

New groups of older and younger people were connected for a brand new year of intergenerational workshops. They got to know each other better through a game of ‘Show and Tell’ where they brought in old photos and objects from home.

WINTER 2024

We marked the festive season with special winter workshops, featuring everything from carol singing to biscuit decorating (and much more). Young people also chose to think of others and spread joy and kindness, with young people in Rotherhithe designing cards to send well wishes and joy to older people at Rose Court, a care home for people with dementia.

SPRING 2025 With our older and younger neighbours knowing each other a little better, older neighbours took the reins at workshops - from leading tours around Greenwich to special crafts workshops, our older neighbours taught local school children and young people a lot!

SUMMER 2025

We ended the year with a series of parties, with older and younger neighbours designing their own celebrations. There were quizzes, talent shows and plenty of snacks. Our social action groups also marked the end of the year by creating campaign materials, including bracelets made with recycled materials to raise awareness of environmental issues and a zine to support those struggling with rising costs.

Bringing the Life Rivers board game to life

We worked with Dr Helen Kingstone to explore storytelling and life history approaches in our workshops, resulting in the ‘Life Rivers’ board game. The game invites older and younger neighbours to travel along the river of life, asking each other questions along the way. One of our older neighbours said: “I can find it intimidating talking to the children, but the questions made it much easier.”

Featuring in an exhibition at the Science Gallery

One of our Lambeth groups featured in an exhibition at the Science Gallery, Lifelines: Rethinking Ageing Across the Generations. Researchers from The Sciences of Ageing and the Culture of Youth (SAACY) programme visited some of our workshops to find out more about perceptions on ageing and some of the participants personal items featured! Staff and participants also featured in a special film.

Sidney Street Mural

One of our Tower Hamlets groups were part of a community-led project to create a new mural to reflect the people, places and events that have shaped the area This was unveiled in April 2025 in Sidney Street. You can find out more about the project here.

Taking part in the Sidney Street mural project was brilliant. It was a real achivement for the participants to see their work in a public space. It was something they could enjoy themselves, while also bringing joy to others in the community. JULIE, FORMER OUTREACH WORKER AT ST. HILDA’S COMMUNITY CENTRE

Intergenerational voices

We strive to champion older and younger people’s voices in everything that we do. We make sure to consult older and younger people before our programmes start and we provide opportunities for participants to take the lead, from planning events to feeding back on organisational strategy.

Consultations

We co-design our programmes with young people, older people and the wider community to ensure they meet the needs of people of all ages. We build in time to consult each age group before we start our

programmes, which helps build trust and dispel stereotypes. Pictured is one of our older neighbours that joined us at a consultation at Walnut Tree Walk Primary School.

Intergenerational Panel

Our Intergenerational Panel connects people involved in our programmes across London, including older and younger neighbours, teachers, parents, scheme managers and volunteers. We held two meetings this year, with Panel members providing feedback on our refreshed mission and vision.

The Intergenerational Social Action Board (ISAB)

We continued to coordinate the Intergenerational Social Action Board (ISAB), an intergenerational group that makes decisions about their communities - from allocating funding for local projects to designing and delivering the Age-Friendly Awards. The Board was funded by the #iwill Fund and Clarion Futures and met seven times this year.

Prior to joining ISAB, my main contact with people at school was on the bus! I wasn’t sure what it ” would involve but it’s been a real pleasure working with young people on something meaningful. ALISON, ISAB MEMBER

New programme: How To Make Change

We partnered with The Advocacy Academy, Brixton-based youth organisers, to develop a brand new intergenerational changemaking course in Brixton. Open to people of all ages (0-100+), it ran for 10 months and included sessions on a variety of topics including power, how to run good meetings and conflict resolution

The Intergenerational Changemaking Podcast

You can find out more about How To Make Change by listening to the Intergenerational Changemaking Podcast (which is available wherever you get your podcasts). Participants of the pilot reflected on the joys, GREAT PHOTO HERE challenges, and lessons of intergenerational changemaking - from moments of solidarity over dinner to navigating conflict and resolution with care at its core. The podcast was made in collaboration with Amplify Us.

We’re living in a period where everything feels hopeless. This was a feeling people across the generations could resonate with. But once we’d spent a couple of hours together, we were energised. We’d learnt not just the tools to create change, but we’d built connections too. HOW TO MAKE CHANGE 24/25 PARTICIPANT - SPEAKING ON THE INTERGENERATIONAL CHANGEMAKING PODCAST

NORMAN HOUSE AND CHEAM FIELDS PRIMARY SCHOOL, SUTTON Connect programme

----- Start of picture text -----

----- End of picture text -----

This was our first year working in Sutton, connecting older people (aged 55+) living in Norman House with children aged 7-11 from Cheam Fields Primary School. We ran 10 workshops, which were designed to help residents and pupils get to know each other better through creative activities and skillsharing. Highlights included an early workshop where a residents brought in photos of themselves as children, along with resident Christiane’s minatures workshops, where she showed fellow residents and children how to make minature scenes out of everyday objects.

It gave me a better understanding of older people. Before I thought they just like newspapers and stuff like that but I realised some of them ” are quite fun and cool and they’ve obviously been young too once. PUPIL, CHEAM FIELDS PRIMARY SCHOOL

Often pupils do not get the chance to engage with older people. Some were apprehensive and had preconceived ideas about older people - the workshops changed this! A standout moment was the interview workshop, which the pupils still speak highly of. It increased their active listening skills and understanding of other people's lives and experiences. VICE PRINCIPAL, CHEAM FIELDS PRIMARY SCHOOL

A month after I’d had my operation, a child came up to me and asked ‘How’s your hand?’. I thought to myself, how can a child remember that? I asked her if she had grandparents nearby and she said ‘No, my nanny and grandad live very far away, but you can be my granny’. I almost cried. It’s how they remember things. They’re lovely. OLDER PARTICIPANT, NORMAN HOUSE

It’s an opportunity for the residents to reflect on their lives and share their stories with a new audience. You can see the impact, as the residents often talk about the workshops long after they’ve passed. I’ve also seen more reticent residents come out of their shell. The fact that they keep coming back month after month says a lot. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT OFFICER, SUTTON HOUSING SOCIETY

THE BYRONS AND PROSPECT HOUSE PRIMARY SPECIALIST SUPPORT SCHOOL, MANCHESTER Empower programme

GREAT PHOTO HERE

We partnered with Great Places housing association to deliver three projects in Manchester, as part of our Empower programme. Our project connecting the Byrons with Prospect House Primary Specialist Support School was InCommon’s first experience of working with a specialist school and it gave older participants the opportunity to give back, with some residents having prior experience of supporting children with additional needs. Both the older participants and children enjoyed it so much, they decided to increase their visits from once a month to fortnightly!

I see the children gaining more confidence with each visit. DEPTUY HEADTEACHER, PROSPECT HOUSE PRIMARY SPECIALIST ” SUPPORT SCHOOL

When you can see the children are enjoying themselves, it really shows customers the value of the visits. I’m sure this will bring extended social and community benefits to our customers (residents) – and we have lots more who are keen to get involved in the future. SCHEME MANAGER, THE BYRONS

REDUCTION IN AGEISM AND INCREASED OPTIMISM ABOUT GETTING OLDER

Almost half (49%) of children/young people are excited about getting older after spending time with their older neighbours. One child said: “I would have more stories to tell and I would have much more things to show and also have learnt way more things.” We also asked children to describe their older neighbours in three words and the most common words were ‘kind’, ‘happy’, ‘funny’, ‘nice’ and ‘fun’, a far cry from the negative stereotypes usually identified with ageing and older people, e.g. ‘boring’. ‘grumpy’, ‘sad’ and ‘depressed’ (Centre for Ageing Better).

The Age-Friendly Awards

It was an absolute delight bringing people together during Global Intergenerational Week for the third Age-Friendly Awards, where we celebrated champions of intergenerational connection in communities across England. We held the event at Appleby Blue, an award-winning almshouse run by United St Saviour's Charity.

InCommon has been running the Age-Friendly Awards since 2023 in partnership with Clarion Futures, the charitable foundation of the UK’s largest housing association Clarion Housing Group, and the #iwill Fund.

Support and training

We are committed to bringing the impacts of intergenerational connection to communities in England and across the UK. This year, we worked with a diverse range of partners to make this happen, including through our Empower pogramme.

10 Empower projects in 3 regions

Through our Empower programme, we supported 50 housing/care staff, activity providers and teachers to deliver intergenerational projects in Buckinghamshire, Greater Manchester, South Yorkshire and West Sussex, benefitting more than 300 older people and young people.

Trained 16 youth clubs and organisations

We provided expert support and training on intergenerational delivery to youth clubs and organisations that were part of Clarion Futures’ Community Ambassador Programmes. We provided more than 15 hours of support, with projects celebrated at the AgeFriendly Awards.

Supporting intergenerational practice in Cambridge

We partnered with Cambridge City Council and Cambridge CVS to support local voluntary sector organisations and groups deliver intergenerational activities. As part of this project, we supported with youth recruitment and designed and delivered three free webinars on how to run inclusive and accessible intergenerational projects. These were shared with the local community and are available to watch online.

InCommon were pivotal to our project - we could not have delivered it without them. Before their involvement, we had no in‐house expertise in intergenerational working and the partnership fundamentally shifted both the scope and depth of what we were able to achieve. They brought specialist knowledge in building relationships with schools and provided hands‐on support to design and run high‐quality intergenerational sessions.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The 12 month period, from 1st August 2024 to 31 July 2025 was our third year operating as a registered charity. We were previously operating as InCommon Living. During this 12 month period InCommon generated a total income of £298,222 (2024: £437,195), and incurred total expenditure of £357,129 (2024: £325,146).

At the end of the financial period, InCommon held reserves of £140,231, of which £46,154 was restricted and £94,077 was unrestricted.

RESERVES POLICY

The Trustees have considered what level of reserves it is reasonable and responsible for us to hold. We aim to hold between four to six months of normal running costs as “free reserves” (unrestricted reserves less net book value of fixed assets), to cover unexpected income shortfalls, maintain expenditure and the orderly winding up of our activities in the event of closure.

Based on normal running costs, our targeted reserves should be in the range of £108,000 - £165,000 to cover 4-6 months of expenditure. As of 31 July 2025, we held £94,077 in unrestricted reserves.

Reserves are planned to provide an internal source of funds for situations such as a sudden increase in expenses, one-time unbudgeted expenses, unanticipated loss in funding, or uninsured losses. Resources are also intended to provide an internal source of funds where the company permanently ceases charitable activities and must close operations. The amount of funds held in reserves by the charity has reduced considerably since 2023-24.

GOING CONCERN

It has been a challenging time in the charity sector, and the Trustees have made the difficult decision to wind up the charity. As a result, the going concern basis for the preparation of the financial statements is no longer appropriate and an ‘orderly termination of business basis’ has been applied. The assets at the end of this year are at their recoverable amount, and the liabilities at their settlement values.

The charity expects to cease activities by the end of May 2026 and to officially close down on the 31st July 2026. Therefore, a final set of accounts will be prepared for the year ending 31st July 2026. The charity is in the process of seeking a charity with similar objectives to transfer any receivable funds remaining that may exist at the closure date. This will be done with the clearance of the Charity Commission

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES

The Trustees (who are also directors of InCommon Foundation for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable for that year. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF INCOMMON FOUNDATION

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31st July 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees of the charitable company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the charitable company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since the charitable company’s gross income exceeded £250,000, your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

Emphasis of matter

I draw attention to Note 16 to the financial statements and to the accounting policies which explain that the trustees intend to close the charity at the end of July 2026 and therefore do not consider it to be appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. Accordingly the financial statements have been prepared on an orderly termination of business basis. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Other than the above, I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

INCOMMON FOUNDATION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st JULY 2025

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting convention

These accounts have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”), “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 (Second Edition effective 1 January 2019) – (Charities SORP (FRS102)), and the Companies Act 2006. The Charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. The accounts are prepared in Sterling, which is the functional currency of the Charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. The financial statements have been drawn up for a 12 month period from the 1st August 2024 to 31 July 2025. The comparative period is for 12 month period from the 1 August 2023 to the 31st July 2024. The accounts have been prepared under the historic cost convention, unless otherwise stated in the accounting policies.

Assessment of going concern

The charity will cease activities at the end of May 2026 and officially close on 31st July 2026. The financial statements have therefore been prepared on an ‘orderly termination of business basis’ rather than as a going concern. In reaching this decision, the Trustees have considered budgets and cash flow forecasts to the date of closure, to ensure that the charity has the relevant funds available to settle all of its liabilities at the time of closure.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted fundsaregeneral funds that are available for use at the trustees’ discretion in furtherance of the objective of the charity. Designated fundsarefunds established by the trustees from time to time for specific projects or purposes,are not in any way restricted and any surplus or deficit will be transferred to/fromthegeneral purposes fund when the designated fund is closed. Restricted funds arethose received for use in a particular area of specific purposes, the use of which isrestricted to that area or purpose.

Income

Income is accounted for as soon InCommon has entitlement to the income and there is both probability of receipt and the amount is measurable. Cash grants and donations are recognised on receipt. Other grants and donations are recognised once the charitable company has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised on receipt.

Grant income is recognised in full in the year in which it is receivable, unless there are specific performance related conditions that prevent its recognition. Where performance conditions apply, grant income is deferred until those conditions are met.

28

Docusign Envelope ID: BFE7D5A6-C8CA-8F6E-830A-0B9D186991FB

Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings in the SOFA in the aggregate of all costs related to that category. Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Support costs are shared resources that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities such as back-office costs, costs of fundraising, personnel, IT and premises costs.

Volunteers

The Charity benefits from the contribution of volunteers who give their time. In accordance with guidance in the Charities SORP FRS 102, no monetary value is included in the accounts for an equivalent time cost given by volunteers.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible within 100 days to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Assets and liabilities

Tangible fixed assets costing £1,000 or more including irrecoverable VAT and incidental installation costs are capitalised, where they meet the definition of fixed assets according to the relevant financial standards. Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost net of depreciation charged to date. Depreciation is charged on a straight line basis over an appropriate period for the asset.

Tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment if circumstances indicate their carrying value may exceed their net realisable value and value in use. Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, with no stated interest rate and receivable within one year are measured at transaction price. Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, with no stated interest rate and payable within one year, are recorded at transaction price.

Operating leases

Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to income on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another more systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in

Pensions

The charity operates a defined contributions pension scheme for its employees. Pension costs are charged to the financial statements when they become payable by the charity.
