Bridging the Gap (Intergenerational work)

ENYP seeks to improve community relations by bridging the gap through a range of intergenerational projects.  For example, some of the pupils serve food and clear tables at a community luncheon club, and a reminiscence project provides an opportunity for old and young to use multi-sensory objects as triggers to memory and conversation.

Community Luncheon Club

Is an exciting project which involves young people from Heartsease Primary School giving up their lunch times to serve food to the elderly at a local luncheon club. With great enthusiasm they serve, talk and listen  to each other - sharing thoughts, concerns and stories from their own generational perspective.

Bridging the Gap

A model for intergenerational activities in Norwich ENYP, working in partnership with Age UK Norwich and Norwich Living History Group, have created a model for working across the generations, using reminiscence based activities.  This model has been successfully implemented in Heartsease Primary School, and has potential for use by church and community groups across the city.

The Model:  6-8 young people work alongside 6-8 older people initially for six
sessions, with a view to creating a sustainable and ongoing project – sharing memories, getting to know each other and forming relationships which bridge the gap across generations.

 

 

Intergenerational reminiscence activities - benefits for the local community:

Community Cohesion – bringing together different generations through
meaningful activities and interactions helps to break down barriers within the community by improving communication between generations.

Community Safety – increasing understanding between generations, including
breaking down stereotypes and providing positive role models helps to  prevent anti-social behaviour and challenges false perceptions.

Health and Well-being – bringing different generations together to exchange skills and knowledge enables all members of the community to feel useful and productive and thus helps to improve health and well-being within the community as a whole.

Age Friendly Society – Challenging stereotypical images of old and young people, and enabling each to contribute to the group in a meaningful way, helps to create an ‘age friendly’ society where people are enabled to live out their full potential whatever their age

Every Person Matters – Developing strategies and activities which bring together people of different generations and experiences within the community, contributes to the Every Child Matters agenda held by schools and children’s centres.  Participants of all ages gain increased confidence in the effectiveness of community based projects.

Streetwise

 

 

 

 

 

What is streetwise?

Motivated and capable individuals patrolling in at least pairs for a minimum of 2 hours per month.  Patrols will be focused on improving the communities.  Opportunities for cohesion, looking for ways to intervene to protect/reduce harm to vulnerable persons, providing information to council/police where action is required, seeking feedback from communities, deterring damaging activities.

 

Why do we need streetwise?

  • communities need to re-gain ownership of their neighbourhoods.

  • Police and the Council working alone cannot build a community.

  • Fear of crime and anti-social behaviour is far greater than the reality.

  • vulnerability exists right here on our doorstep.

  • YOU CAN help the community to nurture, develop, sustain, achieve, thrive....

 

For further information or to volunteer to be part of the Streetwise team please contact streetwise@enyp.org.uk or phone 07599 544038

Young People's Forum

Our young people's forum provides the opportunity for young people to get more involved with the future     development of ENYP by contributing their ideas and feedback.

 

 

Every ENYP youth club or activity will has two YPF representatives
who are the spokespeople on behalf of their group. The YPF representatives will meet with their relevant group leader once a half term to chat and bounce ideas off one another. The aim is to be constantly in touch with what children and young people want and expect from the groups they attend. It will also empower and equip the children and young people as they realise their importance and significance in ENYP.  It also aims to encourage older members to become more actively involved in the project by volunteering their time, energy and skills at different groups and activities.

 

The forum group meetings are on the following dates (individual  group reps will meet seperately at a time suitable to the reps and group leaders):


Thursday 26th January @ St Francis

Thursday 23rd February @ Witard Road Baptist Church - 5pm to 6.30pm.  Please note a light tea will be provided for the Forum Reps.


Sponsored club swap!

Tommy (aged 10) suggested that his group (ENYP FC) and Dance Off! get sponsored to attend each other's session, I think this may be because Tommy secretly wanted the excuse to wear a pink tutu!

The young people's forum reps will be joining in, and the event is open to any child or young person that attends ANY ENYP clubs or activities. Download the sponsor form and start collecting your pledges!

The football session will be 3.30 til 5pm at St Francis on Thurs 23rd Feb (followed by a light tea for any YPF reps - this will be at Witard Road and you'll be supervised to walk there, please get picked up from Witard Road Church at 6.30pm). The dance session will be 4.30 til 6pm at Heartsease Lane on Fri 24th Feb (a normal 'primary' class with a lot of extra attendees!).
