Different Bands of the Jewish Lads and Girls Brigade (JLGB) set up twinning arrangements with a range of Jewish community organisations that work with older people. They engaged on joint activities with themes around reminiscence, remembrance and Holocaust.
Each JLGB band around the country chose its own activities. In Redbridge, for example, a representative of the charity Jewish Care talked to young people about life in a care home and about residents' health issues, including dementia. The young people then joined residents in art and craft activities. These activities inspired conversations and encouraged residents to share their reminiscences.
Another group of young people linked up with the Association of Jewish Ex-Servicemen and Women (AJEX) to meet members and talk about their lives during the Battle of Britain and the wider experiences of British Jewry during the war.
