GAMH Young Carers Intergenerational Collaboration
Young Carers Project and Later Life Matters (both Big Lottery funded projects) through consultation and discussion agreed that both projects would benefit and learn from sharing each other’s experiences, knowledge and strengths.
With additional funding from JMA Trust, a number of workshops were held with a local playwright to write short stories about the experiences of both young carers and older people. As a
result of this initiative an Intergeneration Book of Memories and Stories was produced and is available on request from the project.
