Global Intergenerational Week
Gen-All is Your England Lead for GIW 2026
​
Bridging the gap between ages, building a stronger England
We are thrilled to announce that Gen-All has been appointed the official England Lead for Global Intergenerational Week 2026. From April 24th to April 30th, we will join over 15 countries worldwide to celebrate the power of intergenerational connections and the magic that happens when different ages come together.​
What is Global Intergenerational Week?
Global Intergenerational Week is an annual campaign that highlights the importance of relationships between different age groups. It’s about more than just "being nice" across generations. Now in its sixth year, Global Intergenerational Week (GIW) continues to champion and celebrate meaningful connections between generations across the world. It's about:
Reducing Loneliness
Breaking social isolation for both the young and the old.
Community Resilience
Building neighbourhoods where everyone feels they belong, regardless of their birth year.
Challenging Ageism
Overcoming stereotypes that limit the potential of people at every stage of life.
Our Role as the England Lead
​
As the lead organisation for England, Gen-All acts as the central hub for the campaign on home soil. Our mission this year is to make 2026 the most impactful year yet by:
​
-
Amplifying Voices - using our platform to showcase brilliant intergenerational projects across England.
-
Resource Hub - providing event ideas and social media assets to help you get started.
-
