Generations work together on special Remembrance Day project
Generations came together to share experiences and knowledge as pupils at Sheffield’s Westbourne School were joined by members of Age UK’s Well With Nature group for a special Remembrance Day project.
The two generations created wreaths for the Broomhill Independent School’s annual November 11 Remembrance Day ceremony.
It was one of the events aimed specifically at bringing Westbourne closer to the elderly in South West Sheffield.
The Well With Nature Group is made up of retired professional women who are all in their 80s and 90s.
Westbourne Headmaster Aidan Edmanson said: “This is always an enjoyable meeting for both young and old and demonstrates our continued enthusiasm to establish stronger intergenerational links and fostering greater friendships and understanding.
“Activities like our wreath making session aim to instil a heightened sense of community among pupils and demonstrate the positive impact of interacting with different demographics.
“By involving young people in community initiatives, we aim to cultivate a spirit of active participation and encourage all our pupils to then take these efforts into the wider community.”
