2. The intergenerational dance project is a partnership between Third Age and Transition Year students of Scoil Dara Secondary School, Kilcock, this intergenerational programme bringing seniors and youth together to learn more about each other. ‘Rap Around the Clock’ combines hip-hop and freestyle with waltzes and rock and roll, each generation sharing some moves from their own. The programme is much more than dancing, and is creating positive contact between the generations.

3. The Third Age Members Garden began in spring 2015 and celebrated its first year with a crop of vegetables. The initiative has been supported by the members of Men’s Shed and been enthusiastically received by members who are happy to buy the produce they have grown. The raised beds help with access, and members are very happy to buy the produce they have helped to plant and nurture.
