Organised by YWCA Jockey Club Family Wellness Centre and funded by Lee Kum Kee Family Foundation, Picture book of my Grandparents Project aimed at promoting harmonious cross-generations relationship. The programme guided children to record the happy moments spent with their grandparents through writings and drawings, which finally turned into precious picture books to be given their grandparents as gift. 190 families joined the programme and finished making 209 picture books.

There is a growing trend for promoting inter-generation integration and building an elderly-friendly community. However, prejudices still blind us sometimes. Therefore, YWCA Ellen Li District Elderly Community Centre launched a programme to let the old meets the young, hoping to break the stereotypes by encouraging interaction. 

Funded by the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, the Association’s Sai Wan Social Centre for the Elderly and Western District Integrated Social Service Centre organised "1580 Concert" in February under the Jockey Club Place for Healthy Ageing project, featuring two bands formed by teenagers and elderly respectively. After six months, the concert returned in a physical form.

Friendship has no age limit. We just need a chance to know each other better. YWCA Sai Wan Social Centre for the Elderly recently held a Fun Day to bring 80 young and old closer. Apart from keeping elderly’s brains active with different matches, it also allowed both parties to have a deeper understanding and helped build intergenerational harmony in the community.

Every era has its own theme song. Music has the power to tell stories and connect people regardless of the lyrics and tunes. In YWCA Sai Wan Social Centre for the Elderly, “Chillers”, a teenage band, met “Galaxy”, a band formed by a group of retirees. Despite the age difference, the two bands hit it off. Rehearsal under the epidemic was difficult, but they overcame the obstacle and successfully held an "intergenerational concert" online at the end of February, bringing two generations closer.
