Today we looked for mini wildness in Bankhouse's garden. We found lots of minibeasts and then we planted flowers to make our friends happy #Bearainbow @rhosyfedwen @RyfEco #FACE @BGIntergen

@lewis_tink @stmarysciwy5 Well it's all pretty random... back to school for them! I know which one I wouldn't have ;)

[Woffington House @WoffingtonHouse]

Trying to think of a name for our fabulous collaborative piece!! Any ideas!? @georgeprimary @FfrindIMi @karenhamer9 @justaniklepixie @Shannicole_x @MEvs74
the colours are a lot brighter in life.... perhaps a piece to be shared at the new hospital in Cwmbran?? @StrangeTanya

It is Dementia Awareness week. I am so proud of the children and adults of the choir performing in their local community today. @StMarysCIW @UnitedWelsh @FfrindIMi @LearnWGrandma @swanbreced @BGIntergen

[Digital Inclusion Wales |Cynhwysiant Digidol Cymru @DIWCDC]

Could pupils in your school work with a local care home or hospital, to help older people enjoy getting online? Get involved in our #DigitalHeroes initiative!

Excited about phase 3 of our Intergenerational work. Gardening club will be attending Wesley House this afternoon. @UnitedWelsh @BGIntergen

@futuregencymru @AGE_PlatformEU @sophiehowe @talkolderpeople @FfrindIMi It is great promoting intergenerational projects but this must be backed up with funding. Our work in Blaenau Gwent has shown IG activities without appropriate funding can actually exacerbate health and educational inequalities - @sophiehowe we would love to talk about this.
