“Across our lives we naturally engage with people who are like us – but that can create social distance between people who are not, a sense of ‘them and us’ across different ages or backgrounds. This can make people feel isolated, anxious or even threatened. Yet actually there is so much that connects us. We need an approach like Intergenerational England’s, that gives different generations more points of contact with each other, and reassurances about our fellow citizens.”
