A volunteering project in Reading has been awarded almost £300,000 to promote intergenerational work.

The project is one of 12 across England to have been awarded grants as part of a £5.5 million cross-Government scheme to promote volunteering and encourage interaction between young and old.

The Generations Together campaign aims to break down barriers between young and old and help them engage with each other on equal terms through mutually beneficial voluntary projects.
