Goldenhill Primary School Children Join Kingsacre Care Home for Weekly Arts and Crafts Fun!

In a heartwarming initiative aimed at fostering intergenerational connections and creativity, Kingsacre Care Home in Duntocher has opened its doors every Friday to the energetic young students of Goldenhill Primary School. The collaboration, centered around arts and crafts activities, has been a resounding success, bringing joy to the residents and children alike.

The weekly sessions, aim to bridge the generation gap while providing opportunities for shared experiences and skill-building. The initiative not only provides an avenue for social interaction but also serves as a platform for learning and growth. Residents and children alike exchange stories, wisdom and laughter, creating meaningful connections that transcend age boundaries.

Research suggests that intergenerational interactions offer numerous benefits, including enhanced cognitive function, improved emotional wellbeing and a greater sense of belonging for both older adults and children. Kingsacre Care Home provides a nurturing environment for all involved.

"We firmly believe that kids keep us young at heart and our collaboration with Goldenhill Primary School exemplifies this sentiment," stated Karlynn, Home Manager at Kingsacre Care Home. "The positive impact of these weekly sessions extends far beyond the confines of our home, enriching the lives of our residents and fostering a sense of community."

As the arts and crafts sessions continue to flourish and our home remains committed to nurturing meaningful connections and creating moments of joy for our residents and the wider community.
