Our network meetings are hosted across various locations in Renfrewshire and Inverclyde as the area is widespread geographically, the location varies each time to reach communities. We welcome the inexperienced and new to intergenerational practice and those who are more experienced too. It is a time to connect, share and inspire and be inspired by other likeminded people in your local community.
March 2026 Meeting
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Greater Renfrewshire and Inverclyde network meeting on Wednesday 18th March 2026 at the Tannahill Centre in Paisley. It was great to connect with those who attended and to hear about both current and future intergenerational projects. We learned about a wide range of inspiring initiatives taking place across Greater Renfrewshire and Inverclyde, spanning early years, older people’s groups, libraries and music groups. For more information on the meeting, please see the notes below.
Visit to Rashielee Care Home
Above is a photo from a visit to Rashielee Care Home in Erskine in November 2025. I was lucky enough to join in one of their intergenerational sessions with Rashielea Primary School. Pupils meet weekly with their ‘Grandbuddies’ and enjoy time chatting with each other. Through this, they have formed truly special friendships that have created lasting bonds, bringing the school, care home and wider community closer together.
We are keen to deliver training in the area too, if this is of an interest contact Corrina or telephone 07897572118 for further information.
