Job Vacancies
We start from a belief that the people of Reading have many talents. These are sometimes hidden, other times they do not have an opportunity to flourish. These talents are to be found amongst young people and the older generation. Both, we believe, have a lot to learn from each other.
Generations Together is a government funded programme supporting inter-generational projects. Reading is just one of twelve local authority areas to win funds for an 18-month research pilot. Projects will be developed in schools, communities and voluntary groups leading up to a week-long Festival of Ages in 2010.
Coming together to deliver the programme is a partnership of Reading Borough Council, the Central Berkshire Education Business Partnership, Street Games UK and Age Concern Berkshire.
