The Goldies Cymru Schools Programme has been running in
Wales for a number of years but during Covid this work was severely impacted. Prior to the pandemic, the National Lottery Education Category award winning 'Armistice Cantata'grew out of a creative project involving teachers and their pupils in schools in Cardiff commemorating the end of the first World War. The programme brought about a real sense of authentic learning about the impact that WW1 had on Cardiff and its residents. Schools involved went on to perform at the National Service of Remembrance in St David’s Hall, Chapter Arts Centre and many other venues in South Wales. Since then, the charity and the older people have supported further learning through its playground games project and links to living history. Now, in 2023 the charity is excited to bring to you a new project. The programme focuses on belonging and bringing a sense of 'Cynefin' to your school with to bring older people into your community, to play, learn and work together and to find enjoyment in spending time together. It is supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. |
Bringing together the Young with the Young at Heart
The new primary schools intergenerational programme was launched on October 27 at Rhiwbeina Primary School in Cardiff.
Since launching eight years ago the Goldies Cymru Charity have brought songs and smiles to older isolated people across South Wales. These take place in Libraries, community rooms and Church halls and there are now over 60 sessions led by dedicated freelance leaders.
Sixty children from Rhiwbeina Primary School together with 30 older folk who attend the Rhiwbeina Goldies session joined together in song to launch the new project. It was introduced by Grenville Jones, Goldies founder, with exuberant singing led by Steffan Davies, Children’s and Welsh Librarian from Cardiff Hubs and Libraries.
Julie Hughes, Head of Investment at The National Lottery Heritage Fund, also attended the launch and praised the value of the school projects that have been led by the Goldies Cymru Charity in past years.
