Well done Maria - we were delighted to hear of this glowing feedback from a resident 🌟

🌟 Building Bridges Across Generations! 🌟 What a fantastic morning at Christopher Pickering Lodge, where residents welcomed children from Newington Primary School for a heartwarming intergenerational event. Together, they enjoyed board games, cards, dominoes, and chess, followed by some festive fun with Christmas bingo, a quiz, and snacks! 🎄🎲♟️ Intergenerational projects like this one are incredibly powerful. They: ✅ Foster meaningful connections between generations. ✅ Reduce loneliness and isolation for older adults. ✅ Enhance social skills and empathy for young people. ✅ Bring joy, laughter, and a sense of belonging to everyone involved. A huge thank you to everyone who made this wonderful event possible. These moments of connection remind us of the incredible benefits of bringing generations together. 🌱💚

Feedback really makes a difference to the services we offer and shows us where we can improve, and where we are doing well. You can give us feedback at any time here https://lnkd.in/dvEBRp6Q

🌟 A Royal Honor for Our Incredible Volunteers! 🌟 We’re thrilled to share that Gloria and Liz, two of our amazing volunteers, represented PFH at the Westminster Abbey Christmas Carols, attended by HRH Princess Catherine! 👑🎄 This once-in-a-lifetime experience was both inspiring and humbling, a true testament to the impact of their work. Thanks to the HEY Smile Foundation, who nominated them after their recognition at the Volunteer Awards in Hull this past October. 🎉 Through their dedication to the Broadway Allotment project, Gloria and Liz have been instrumental in reducing loneliness and isolation while promoting better mental well-being within our community. 🌱💚 We’re so proud of their commitment and the recognition they’ve received—it’s richly deserved. Thank you for all that you do to make a difference! 🙌

The joy of bringing two age groups together! We regularly have intergenerational sessions and this Christmas has been no exception, with quizzes, laughter, carols and some festive treats - the afternoon was enjoyed by everyone! Thank you to VICTORIA DOCK PRIMARY SCHOOL for coming along and our residents cant wait to see you all again!
