WELCOME to East Lothian Intergenerational Network
WELCOME to the online hub for ELIGN - East Lothian Intergenerational Network
Whatever brings you to this website; curiosity, advocacy, something to contribute or seeking particular information and inspiration for intergenerational working, you are in good company. We hope you find what you are looking for - and invite you to also get in touch directly.
Tackling Ageism, Raising Awareness, Empowering Communities
Intergenerational work is happening locally, all over the UK and across the globe.
It is something that goes beyond generations connecting in families - to our communities; bringing a sense of family, and certainly friendship, to those who would not normally have the opportunity to connect.
Intergenerational approaches encourage the development of relationships through meaningful activities and time spent together to ensure all involved enjoy the incredibly rich dividends of younger and older people coming together.
Here in East Lothian we have been blessed with many groups, organisations, schools, nurseries, care homes and more developing strong links between at least two groups of very different ages. We hope to share their stories and experiences, broadcast the need for intergenerational connections and learn about others engaging in this wonderful work.
We delight in sharing inspiration and, together, we will support networking including how to get started with your own intergenerational projects.

Keep us posted!
Building this website to be a useful, well-used resource is a work in progress. It takes time, knowledge and engagement from many - but we hope you find that there is plenty to peruse meantime.
As groups evolve (and sometimes pause or stop) some information may become outdated. New ideas are also generated and - excitingly - new projects start.
So, please share your experiences, knowledge and input - and we will keep building and updating this site.
