About Ageless Play

Ageless Play for Aged Care Services

Ageless Play offers a unique opportunity for the young and young at heart, to come together to play. Sessions are delivered in aged care, retirement living and early learning centres. Parents, residents and children under five meet and play together. The diverse range of play activities on offer:

are mutually beneficial for all participants
promote early childhood social and physical development
increase parental peer support networks
provide a vital opportunity for isolated residents to reconnect through positive community interactions.

Ageless Play a National Initiative

To date, intergenerational groups have grown simply through word of mouth and community collaborations. Through our Ageless Play campaign and in partnership with the ABC TV + iview and industry stakeholders, we are excited about the opportunities to inspire and support positive connections and collaborations to be able to reach even more communities through ageless play.

With sufficient funding, donations and support from individuals looking to make a difference – we will be able to reach even more communities to support intergenerational connections. Help us to support the development of more playgroups across Australia, click below to donate.
