Roselea Court & Braehead Nursery Receive Generations Working Together Award
Roselea Court Care Home and Braehead Nursery have been honoured with the prestigious Generations Working Together Award, recognising their innovative intergenerational programe, 'Rainbow Friends'. This initiative, designed to break down age barriers and foster meaningful connections between young children and elderly VIPs, has brought joy and mutual enrichment to both groups.
The Rainbow Friends programme aims to dismantle age discrimination by creating shared experiences that highlight the commonalities between different generations. Through a variety of fun and engaging activities, children and the VIPs, have formed strong bonds that extend beyond the walls of Roselea Court and into the wider community.
The intergenerational activities range from arts and crafts to storytelling sessions, gardening and music events. These activities are carefully designed to be mutually beneficial, promoting respect, understanding and a sense of purpose for both the young and the elderly participants. The interaction not only provides learning opportunities for the children but also brings joy, companionship and a renewed sense of vitality to the VIPs.
The success of Rainbow Friends has inspired both Roselea Court and Braehead Nursery to further strengthen their partnership. They plan to involve the wider community, bringing young and older generations together for a common purpose. This ongoing collaboration aims to challenge stereotypes, promote inclusivity and build a society where age does not define one's ability to contribute and engage meaningfully.
In recognition of their outstanding efforts, the Generations Working Together Award celebrates the commitment of both institutions to fostering intergenerational solidarity. The award highlights the positive impact that such programs can have on individuals and communities, encouraging others to adopt similar initiatives.
The future looks bright for Rainbow Friends, with plans to expand the range of activities and increase community involvement. This award-winning programme stands as a shining example of how bridging generational gaps can create a more inclusive, respectful and joyful society.
As Rainbow Friends continues to grow and flourish, it promises to enrich the lives of many more children and elderly VIPs, proving that when generations work together, everyone benefits.
