Our Purpose

Generations Working Together is the nationally recognised centre of excellence supporting the development and integration of intergenerational work across Scotland.

In 2020 we launched our call for Scotland to become the first intergenerational nation, coinciding with the Scottish Government Election in 2021. The manifesto identifies three areas and fifteen specific calls for action that we believe the Scottish Government elected for 2021 – 2026, and all elected representatives should focus on to help ensure that relationships between generations are strengthened and Scotland becomes more connected and inclusive. 

Have a read at our Corporate Plan 2020-25 We believe that intergenerational work has a unique and significant contribution to make in our communities by connecting people across generations. Our expertise in this arena places GWT in a strong position to support the development of policy and practice.
