Child and youth care charity Kibble, has been recognised for continuing its HenPower initiative online during pandemic lockdowns to ensure the relationships made between the groups were not lost.
Kibble was awarded the Digital Innovation award by Generations Working Together, a centre of excellence supporting the development and integration of intergenerational work.
The project focuses on establishing valuable connections between young people at Kibble and the older generation in community care homes. The young people worked with residents at local Spiers Care Home at weekly face-to-face sessions before the pandemic, which included caring for the ex-battery hens on-site at Kibble’s therapeutic Forest View School in Lochwinnoch, as well as art and music sessions.
