I visited Janet today. Unfortunately, she wasn't feeling well with a sore throat. So, I read her some poems. I'm looking forward to visiting her again next week – Mark, age 18, who has been visiting Janet weekly in a #Huntingdon #carehome for over a year. Photo of Mark and Janet
YOPEY Befriender finds elderly want physical connection as well as conversation "I talked to Cliff about his job as a shepherd. I also spoke to Jean and Bob. Bob shook hands with me and Jean held my hand" –young #volunteer in #Cambridgeshire #intergenerational #caregiving
THIS IS SOPHIE The 16-year-old is one of our first YOPEY Befrienders in a wheelchair. She certainly gets around. On a recent visit to Lyncroft care home in #Wisbech #Cambridgeshire the teenager talked to a dozen different residents as well as joining in a singalong.
VISITING ELDERLY FRIEND I went to visit Jean, my #carehome friend. I also spoke to Cliff and Bob about their lives and school. At the end of my visit, Bob shook my hand and I said goodbye to Jean. Photo from YOPEY's collection
END DRAWS NEAR I visit Marjorie for the first time in ages. Her health is declining & she didn’t recognise me. I tried to show her pictures in my phone, and talk about my holidays, but nothing worked. So I just listen to her & give her a smile. Photo not of people mentioned
Mark has been visiting Janet, a resident in a #Huntingdon #carehome,weekly for 16 months. The 90-plus-year-old told the teenage she missed doing things at Easter. Mark organised her a mini Easter chick hunt in her room. The smile is not huge, but it is there.
Many of the residents were having a pamper day so I got to speak with a few of them. One of the residents asked me and my friend if there was any school gossip which we found funny. @CountryCourtUK Photo from YOPEY's collection
Three of us play dominos with Rex, who has limited speech (probably because his #dementia is advanced). So we communicate by smiling. He smiles, we smile. After we finish our game we leave him happy and return to @StJosIpswich. Photo of young man, who wrote this post
I helped set up carpet bowls for my friend Joan and other residents. When Joan noticed the photographer, she started making sure her hair looked good for the camera. This made us both smile. #intergenerational #befriending. @HBKSixthForm @CountryCourtUK

HELPING WITH MOTOR SKILLS We played with Lego as the carers said it helps with the residents' motor skills. I helped Janet with placing the Lego bricks as her hand was shaking and she was finding it difficult to click the bricks together. Photo from YOPEY's collection
DEMENTIA REVELATION I showed one resident a picture of my cat and they told me about theirs called Beatrice. I thought it was really interesting because it showed how they can still remember details from their life. #Young & #old in #intergenerational #befriending #partnership
RECOGNISED BY RESIDENT WITH #DEMENTIA (after visiting for 4 months) I saw the resident, who I normally talk to. I felt she recognised me as she came and hugged me. It made my day better. #Young #old in #intergenerational #befriending Photo from YOPEY's collection

BUILDING FRIENDSHIP On this visit I played with #Lego. The carers mentioned that Lego helps with the residents' motor skills. #Young & #old in #intergenerational #befriending #partnership Photo from YOPEY's collection
ANOTHER EASTER CONTRIBUTION I decorated and painted old wine bottles using acrylic paints, for them to be made into colourful, vintage #Easter lamps. #young & #old in #intergenerational #befriending #partnership Photos from YOPEY's collection
I came to the #carehome and visited Roz again. When I got there she was playing bingo with pictures. I helped her by marking the pictures. After bingo we talked. Roz told me how lovely everyone was. #intergenerational #befriending Photo from YOPEY's collection
CRAFTS & CHATTER I did #Easter colouring with a group of residents as well as talking to Anne about how she’s getting on. #young and #old #friends #intergenerational #beaconforbefriending Photo from YOPEY's collection

Thank you for your intergenerational #ServiceToOthers Mark and Janet @YopeyCharity. #CelebratingLifeStories #WeArePalmGarden
I visited Janet today. Unfortunately, she wasn't feeling well with a sore throat. So, I read her some poems. I'm looking forward to visiting her again next week – Mark, age 18, who has been visiting Janet weekly in a #Huntingdon #carehome for over a year. Photo of Mark and Janet
This is possibly our photo of the week! Gemma, our activities coordinator at The Beeches in East Harling brought her 6 week old son Roman in to see the residents. Let's just say the residents were overjoyed to see him! #baby #socialcare #Content
This week students successfully completed dementia training with @YopeyCharity in preparation for their upcoming volunteering with Lydia Eva Court next term. The students are excited to engage in wellbeing activities with the residents, to build connections!
Joy had an amazing party for her 90th Birthday, She really loves when a singer comes to visit the home, so John Henderson came along to perform and everyone had a great afternoon celebrating Joy!🥳🎁🎊 We hope you had an amazing Birthday - From the Holmes Care Group🧁💚
Elders are the architects of our cultural heritage, passing down traditions and values. #ElderWisdom
Our Engineering and Business students are about to take off for an amazing couple of weeks in South Korea! 🙌 👩✈️
Love this @YopeyCharity. Sharing life stories amongst generations brings growth and joy. #ServiceToOthers #Gratitude #WeArePalmGarden
At the #carehome, I did colouring with Wynn. We talked about parties. Wynn loves to go to parties and show off her moves. She wished she had gone to university and how we should grab the opportunity. We exchanged some funny stories about school. Photo from our collection
All coming together for #sundaylunch in the garden room, it went down a treat, Lesley chose the music for us to #dine too, with #chatter, #laughter and a cheeky #wine or 2 🤭 @AnchorLaterLife @alzheimerssoc @DementiaUK @jamieoliver @CQCProf
This afternoon we had a wonderful visit from these two delightful piglets Wilma & Wilfred from Ems friendly farm The residents always really enjoy the animal visits.#animals #farmvisits #MondayFunday @Mayflower_Court @AnchorLaterLife @carehome_co_uk @NAPAlivinglife
We played ball games with the residents. I saw how difficult it was for one resident with arthritis to throw the ball so I moved the target closer to the resident. That way the resident was more likely to score and feel good. #intergenerational photo from YOPEY's collection
If you or someone you know has little ones, perhaps they would like to come along to an Intergenerational Play Time here at The Gables. Held on the 3rd Monday of each month, 10am - 11am spaces can be booked on line. The next group will be Mon 18 Mar. @blackswancare @barnardos
Thank you for the stories @YopeyCharity. You know both generations win in this exchange. Treasured elders feel the love and youngsters learn real life history from those who lived it. Bravo! #CelebratingLifeStories #Gratitude #WeArePalmGarden ❤️
i talked to one lady about school. Back in her day she didn’t have a uniform & she told me the old headmaster used to hit the children with a cane or ruler. She told me she was hit with the ruler for forgetting her handkerchief. #intergenerational pic from YOPEY's collection

Grateful that I didn't allow someone who caused me emotional trauma questioning myself for over a year back into our home yesterday, that I will continue to fight these feelings not allow myself to dwell, become depressed or anxious again & continue to look forward. #Gratitude
