SKIP (Senior & Kids Intergenerational Project)
Bringing generations together.
Say hello to our newest and most heart-warming project at the Dovecote! SKIP brings children and older adults together to share stories, laughter, creativity and connection. It's all about building friendships across generations, learning from one another, and having lots of fun along the way.

When: Thursdays (term time), 9:30am – 12pm
Cost: £1 per session — includes a hot drink and biscuits
SKIP: Bringing Generations Together!
