Hello 12 years ago I founded Intergen which became a registered charity. Intergen brings together secondary and primary schools in a neighbourhood ,so that the pupils, headteachers, and teachers can benefit from the skills and knowledge of older people living in the neighbourhood.
I wanted to know how well this would work in different neighbourhoods . So, as a practical professor, I set up clusters of schools in different parts of the Borough of Trafford and found out through research how these were working and what benefits they had for everyone involved.
In March 2009 Intergen Community Interest Company was established so our services can be bought by schools, housing imbrications, and local communities . We can now ensure the organisation trades so its resources and its benefits can become widely available.
Please look at our website:

This logo was developed by a pupil in one of our secondary schools. We held a competition open to all Intergen partner schools and asked pupils to develop a logo for us. This was the winner in 2002 and we have used it and valued it ever since .
