About age2age
age2age is an initiative of HACT, the housing action charity. It aims to generate confidence and understanding between and across generations by supporting initiatives which bring generations together through intergenerational activities and Homeshare arrangements. One of the key outcomes of age2age is to promote a greater understanding of the role of the housing sector in promoting intergenerational activities. The project also seeks to influence the wider social housing sector to develop sustainable intergenerational approaches in all aspects of its work.
