Reminiscing over the end of cohort event for our Power Up London Accelerator Programme 🫶 We were lucky enough to hear from all participants on the day, including Mel Leung a Programme Manager at InCommon. InCommon bridges generational divides, connecting groups of young people with older people in retirement homes to learn and build friendships. Their activities help to boost older people's wellbeing, support children's social and emotional learning, and build more age-friendly communities for all. Mel said: "It’s been great having the invaluable support of Susan McDonald, CFA, and Ian Sloan, who mentored us during the programme. I’ve really enjoyed connecting with passionate people that are making a big difference in their communities."
