People of all ages are joining forces in East Renfrewshire to explore how different generations can work together to improve quality of life.

The Intergenerational Festival, which celebrates the contribution that young and old alike bring to their communities, is taking place at a variety of venues until Tuesday, May 30.

Organisers are taking a giant poster to each location and asking people to express, through drawing, what they believe an intergenerational community should look like.

Festival spokeswoman Caroline Brown said: “The poster is like a roll of wallpaper which is unravelled as people add their drawings or comments.

“At the end of the festival, all of the contributions will be evaluated to let us see what the next steps should be.”

The festival has already visited libraries in Newton Mearns and Neilston, with the latest stop taking place at Giffnock Library today, from 9.30am until 1.30pm.

It will then move on to Eastwood Health Centre on Friday, from 10am until 2pm, before calling in at Broom Parish Church, in Newton Mearns, on Monday, May 22, from 9.30am to 3pm.

The final session will take place at Barrhead Health Centre, in the town’s Main Street, from 10am until 2pm on May 30.

The festival is being organised by East Renfrewshire Culture and Leisure, in conjunction with Glasgow-based organisation Generations Working Together, Hazeldene Family Centre, in Newton Mearns, and Outside the Box, which provides development support to groups and people across Scotland.

East Renfrewshire Good Causes is providing sponsorship and other partner organisations involved in the festival include Broom Parish Church, Barrhead Health Centre and the Barrhead-based Arthurlie Family Centre.
