Intergenerational question time with Youth Zone!

Langtree Care Home welcomed a group of teenagers from Wigan Youth Zone as they strive to promote intergenerational partnerships in the community.

The charity welcomes young people aged 8–19 (up to 25 for those with additional needs), offering a wide range of activities designed around their interests and passions. Running the Youth Zone costs over £2 million each year, made possible through the support of the community and grant-giving organisations like Millennium Care, helping to positively impact more than 5,000 young people annually. Millennium Care became Gold Patrons of the Youth Zone in 2023.

On the agenda were one-to-one interviews, delivered by the Youth Zone’s members, Katie, Keeley and Izzy to some of Langtree’s chattiest residents Evelyn, Mary and Tom.

Answering a series of well-thought-out questions and opening up through conversations, the light-hearted session was captured by cameras and brought joy to both parties.

The activity was part of a wider focus for both organisations, the introduction of consistent intergenerational activities, a key element within all homes run by Millennium Care.

Langtree Care Home specialises in nursing and dementia care and is part of the Standish Care Village. The Village comprises three homes catering for different needs, which deliver unrivalled continuity in the North West.
