Anglesey is leading celebrations to mark Global Intergenerational Week in Wales.

Activities are taking place throughout the last week of April to highlight the importance of meaningful connections between generations - and the positive impact they have on society, communities and wellbeing.

This year, Menter Môn is acting as country lead for the initiative - with several local schools visiting residential homes to share music, conversation and companionship.

Pupils from Ysgol y Graig will visit residents at Hafan Cefni, where they will perform songs and spend time together, while children from Ysgol Bryngwran will visit Plas Crigyll and  pupils from Ysgol Henblas are looking forward to spending time with residents at Rhos Residential Home.

A number of local authorities across Wales, including Cyngor Gwynedd, are also holding their own activities and events, alongside schools, care homes, community organisations, and national bodies.

Aaron Morris, Menter Môn project manager, said: "Global Intergenerational Week is about creating meaningful spaces where people of all ages can come together, learn from one another and build genuine connections."

"Intergenerational activity has been shown to reduce loneliness, improve wellbeing and foster greater understanding and respect between generations, and we’re incredibly proud to see so many local communities taking part here in Wales."

In addition to local activities, Wales will also host a national webinar on intergenerational practice, showcasing good work from across the country.

It will include contributions from Rhian Bowen Davies, the Older People’s Commissioner for Wales, along with Karen from Kariad, and other practitioners and organisations working to build stronger connections between generations.

The session aims to provide a platform for sharing learning, celebrating success, and exploring how intergenerational approaches can support healthier, more connected communities.
