Glasgow intergenerational project wins Age Scotland’s Best Working Partnership Award 2025

For ten years the pupils and members of the Daffodil club have worked side by side on community projects, breaking down age-related stereotypes and overcoming stigma wrongly associated with the Easterhouse area. 

The partnership has gone from strength to strength since that first meeting when the children attended a club lunch to sing Christmas carols. Friendships have developed, both groups have learned from one another and now children regularly attend activities at the club, exercise classes and sometimes even bingo sessions. 

Last year when the Daffodil Club was at risk of closure, the Oakwood pupils immediately set about fund raising to keep it open. Together with the Daffodil Club, families and local businesses, the pupils helped organise a Spring Fair that raised more than £4,700. 

To the 60 members of the Daffodil Club, the club itself and the meaningful partnership with the school pupils is a lifeline, providing social connection, meals, transport, social events and access to health and wellbeing support.
