Changing the world together – Twenty six intergenerational ideas for a better world for all ages
Released ahead of Global Intergenerational Week 2026, this report from United for All Ages pulls together 26 intergenerational projects that have inspired their supporters recently.
It provide a concise directory of practical projects that can impact locally, nationally and globally. They are grouped under four themes; homes and communities, care and learning, culture and sport, and today for tomorrow.
Housing LIN members will be particularly interested in the homes and community theme and reference to
- Beyond the White Picket Fence, Savannah Fishel’s companion for intergenerational communal housing. Read her blog following her appearance at the recent Housing LIN annual conference in Bristol
- The recent APPG Inquiry report on ‘Creating intergenerational Communities’
- University Retirement Communities
- The Glamour Club programme
- The One Love Luncheon Club in Milton Keynes
- The Ibasho initiative in Japan
- The Coppleston Community Club in Peckham
- Two Generations
- The Grandma’s Soup project
- Homeshare
- RUSS – The Rural Urban Synthesis Society CLT in London
- Cobham Manor multi-generational houses
The 26 ideas have been ‘crowdsourced’ from a wide range of policymakers and practitioners, including the Housing LIN. They have nominated practical projects that could be rolled out more widely.
Local and national governments are urged to back the growing intergenerational movement with joined up community strategies and resources and by creating national ‘committees of the future’.
