Monmouthshire projects that bring together older people with young people can now enter for the Intergenerational Awards 2010.

“We will present awards to organisations and groups who bring the generations together to help build relationships and understanding between young and older members of the community’’.

“If you have been involved in a project or activity in 2009 and you feel that it has helped unite the generations, you will be able to apply to win an Intergenerational award. “

The awards will be presented at a celebration evening on the 25th February 2010.
