Inter generational fun

Yesterday members of our Youth Board visited Bruce McLaren Retirement Village. The Youth Board members had chosen the visit as one of their events for the year, they planned and organised the activities they would do during the visit.

One activity was button art. We were lucky that members of our community donated containers of buttons, huge thanks to Selina, Louisa from Cascades Kindergarten and one of our trustees Ngaire for all the buttons.

The young people organised the activity and helped the seniors

Another activity was to play board games- these Youth Board members were taught how to play this game

There was also a table for general chat, it was great to see conversation flowing between the generations

The Youth Board members served tea/coffee and cake for afternoon tea. They were offered drinks and cake as well which was so kind.

One of our Youth Board giving a resident a gift of a drink coaster, made by youth volunteers working with Youth Project NZ who are taking part in the Duke of Edinburgh Award. Evelyn is a Youth Board member and volunteers weekly to complete her Duke of Edinburgh Award.

This visit was a huge success with everyone enjoying each other's company. Thank you so much to Bruce McLaren staff and residents for making us feel so welcome.
