Word on the street

“My opinion of old people has changed as now I know that they hold many good memories and information. I love doing this, it’s the perk and highlight of my week.”

– Young participant on the IT inter-generational project, Maltby

” Thanks so much for doing an amazing job with our young people! The film is fantastic and unique.”

– Carol Fordham, Resources Team Manager, Sheffield Youth Offending Service

“This project has started to bridge the gap between generations, facilitated the transfer of important skills between residents, and brought the local community and statutory services together.”

– Councillor Doyle, Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council

“Since we did the music video, when I walk down our road now and I see one of the lads from the hostel, they now say: Oh Hello Margaret! And it makes living here so much nicer.”

– Margaret, lives in supported accommodation in Sharrow

” The video is ace, it looks really slick and professional, you’ve done a grand job on it. Thanks ever so much for using our song, especially putting it alongside Mr Hawley’s. That’s a great honour.”

– Russ Palmer, donor of track for Roundabout Video

” Whenever I work with Justine, I know she’ll deliver on time, on budget and to a really high standard. But there’s more to life than a safe pair of hands, and the reason I’d go to Justine time and time again is for that little touch of indefinable magic.”

– Director, School for Social Enterpreneurs, Yorkshire

“I had to watch the video, and got lumps in my throat whilst it played, you captured everything so well. It’s absolutely beyond expectation, but you going beyond expectation is to be expected!  It will be a great stimulus for staff and Trustees alike, and will lead us into the changes you recommend in a purposeful way.”

– Dave Burns, Trustee, St Francis Children's Society

“They have been very polite and helpful in every way, and as an older person it has totally changed my opinion of the younger generation, many thanks.”

– Older participant, Neighbours Can Help project
