Bridging Generations: Radfield Home Care and Ark Little Ridge Academy Join Together for a Summer Picnic

Radfield Home Care Bexhill Hastings & Battle continued their collaboration with Ark Little Ridge Academy to organise a delightful summer picnic. The event brought together some of Radfield’s older clients and the vibrant young students of Ark Little Ridge for an afternoon filled with joy, laughter, and meaningful connections.
The event began with a charming display of song, dance, and drama from the talented children. Their heartwarming display captivated the audience, bringing smiles and applause from all who attended.

Following the performance, guests were treated to a delightful picnic featuring an array of sweet and savoury scones and refreshing fruit kebabs. The carefully prepared treats provided a perfect opportunity for guests to mingle, share stories, and enjoy each other’s company.

Intergenerational activities offer profound benefits for both young and older participants. For our clients, these interactions provide a sense of purpose, reduce feelings of isolation, and enhance overall wellbeing. Engaging with the younger generation allows older people to share their life experiences, wisdom, and stories, which improves self-esteem.

For the children, spending time with older adults offers invaluable lessons in empathy, respect, and understanding. It broadens their perspectives and helps them appreciate the value of life experiences across different ages. Such interactions also nurture social skills and build stronger, more inclusive communities.

Radfield Home Care is dedicated to promoting the wellbeing of its clients and enriching their lives through meaningful community engagements. Collaborations such as those with Ark Little Ridge Academy not only enhance the lives of the older people we support, they also help nurture a compassionate and connected younger generation.
