The Together Project is the national charity tackling loneliness and social isolation by creating joyful intergenerational experiences. Their core mission is to build stronger, happier communities by bringing together different generations through activities like their flagship programme, Songs & Smiles. This initiative connects 0-4-year-olds, their families/carers, and older people in care homes and assisted living schemes through interactive music sessions. Equal parts communal playdate, all-ages singsong and intergenerational friendship group, Songs & Smiles tackles social isolation through human connection.

The Together Project strive to make their programmes inclusive, nurturing wellbeing and building a sense of belonging for everyone involved. Families/carers, older people, and care home staff frequently report how much joy and meaningful engagement these sessions bring to all participants, enriching lives and creating lasting memories.
