New blog shares how Empower is transforming intergenerational communities across the UK

In celebration of Global Intergenerational Week, this new Housing LIN guest blog by Harriet Warden, Empower Programme Manager at InCommon, explores the evolution and impact of Empower, InCommon’s innovative online platform designed to scale intergenerational projects between schools and retirement housing.

Since our evaluation a year ago, InCommon has expanded its reach, built new partnerships—especially within care homes—and refined its platform based on sector feedback. The blog highlights how Empower supports community building, combats loneliness, and fosters emotional growth in children.

Read on to find out more about the ongoing success stories, upcoming Age-Friendly Awards, and how you can get involved in creating age-friendly, intergenerational communities across the UK.
