Smile Project

Smile Project is an inter-generational project that encourages young people to build relationships with elderly members in the community. After a challenging year, we are still unable to visit our older friends face-to-face so the group will help to think of new, fun ideas of how we can interact with the older generation around Skipton. This might include: online video calls, making crafts for them, writing letters, teaching each other skills, meeting in the community at a distance.
There are many benefits for inter-generational activities including an increase in self-confidence and self-esteem.
