Connecting generations across Perth & Kinross

Generations Working Together (GWT) is excited to announce the launch of a new project which will bring together younger and older people to work together on projects and activities which will raise attainment in literacy and numeracy, building respect and understanding between the generations. These activities will be taking place in Perth Grammar School and the Community School of Auchterarder.

GWT is actively seeking older volunteers who have 2-6 hours spare each week to take part in a variety of projects held within the two schools which will help students improve their numeracy and literacy. No experience is required as full training will be given and each volunteer will be fully supported by our Development Officer, Maureen O’Reilly.

There are great benefits for both younger and older people to get involved in this project including learning and sharing new skills, making new friends, recognition and use of their experience talents and skills and most importantly having fun.

If you would like to know more about the projects in either school please get in touch with Maureen at maureen@generationsworkingtogether.org or at 07927550730
