Lead Contact for England: Beth Johnson Foundation and Apples and Honey Nightingale

Beth Johnson Foundation: We want everyone to enjoy a great later life. By listening to, learning from, and sharing people’s stories of ageing, we can work together to help build a future for all ages.  We share the voices of older people and push for positive changes in our communities.

Apples and Honey Nightingale: We are a small Intergenerational pre-school and day care for all children from 3 months to five years. Based around a large, green and secure garden setting, we are the UK’s first intergenerational nursery.

Please revisit this page regularly for updates on our 2024 plans, as events will be promoted shortly. If you would like to share your events please or get involved in some way, please contact Sue Read & Judith Ish-Horowicz.
