What does the Network do?
Each local partnership or network will be organised to meet local needs, led by locally appointed officers, and have a budget to meet basic operating costs. Each local network is part of the Scottish Centre for Intergenerational Practice and has access to:
- Free tailored training
- Database of projects by type and location
- Opportunities for networking
- Free project development Support
- Guidance on funding for local project activity and development.
- Membership is free
Most organisations can join their local network, including:
- Local education institutions, such as nurseries, play groups, schools, colleges, universities, community education, etc
- Voluntary and community organisations
- Public sector organisations, local authorities, health boards, police, fire and rescue, etc
- Older people's groups and organisations, including care homes, day centres, sheltered housing, etc
- Younger people's organisations, such as youth groups, uniformed groups, etc
- Sports groups, local faith communities, and other related organisations
And, of course, individuals with an interest in intergenerational working can join too!
National Mapping Programme of Intergenerational Practice A national survey of intergenerational working is being carried out to find who, where and what is happening. This will be an important component in the development of local intergenerational networks, allowing members to learn from others and share their experience. It will also help identify to national and local funding organisations how best to address the funding needs of organisations. If you would like to join your local network, please complete the on line application form at www.scotcip.co.uk in the Local Networks section.
