Intergenerational session is a success at Bingham care home

Residents at Beauvale care home in Bingham were delighted to take part in an intergenerational learning session with students from the local Toot Hill School. 

Year 8 students were joined by pupils from the local primary school for the project at Beauvale, which aims to integrate people from different generations. 

The 10 week-long Enactus project will see Residents do a different activity with the students each week, including arts and crafts and Valentine’s Day-themed hand painting. 

One Resident commented: “It was nice to talk to and help the children. I am already looking forward to them coming again next week.”

Mr Marriott added: “It was a wonderful experience and was heart-warming to see the interaction between Residents and pupils.”
