Forth Valley

Welcome to the Forth Valley Network

Update:
A big thank you to CVS Falkirk for hosting our October Forth Valley network meeting. We had the pleasure of presenting one of GWT’s Excellence Awards for the category Valuing Generational Diversity and Inclusion to Park Drive Nursery and Gowanlea Care Home in Stirling and were able to hear first hand their experiences of intergenerational work which was extremely positive, inspiring and motivating. We were also thrilled to be joined by a Deputy Head Teacher and four pupils from Moray Primary School, Grangemouth who are researching and planning to engage with older adults in their local community. Another big topic we discussed was around volunteering within intergenerational programmes and I was delighted to meet two members of CSV Falkirk to talk further on the topic. Alison

Our next network meeting will take place online on Tuesday 27th January 2026. This meeting will give you an opportunity to hear what’s happening nationally across the country as the session is open to all our 16 networks. Our next in person network meeting will be held on Thursday 21st May 2026 at 9.30am in Stirling.

If you’d like to join us in January and hear about Global intergenerational Week 2026, our Global Intergenerational Congress 2026 and our manifesto work for the elections please register your place here.

Further info
Our Network meetings provide an opportunity for intergenerational practitioners to come together. It is also for those who are thinking about a project to bring different generations together but would like some support and direction. It is a space to learn, connect and share with other likeminded people who are facing similar challenges as yourself. Challenges of engaging volunteers, challenges of resourcing funding or reaching the most suitable partner for you to develop your intergenerational idea with.

If you are currently supporting an intergenerational project or planning one we’d love to hear from you so please do get in touch with Alison.
