Here also is some information that may be of interest to friends:
A company called The Gap-Year Tour Company in the UK traditionally working with young(er) people has now targetted old(er) people. This is oproving quite successful, Nick Ross, Managing Director says: "A lot of adults come to us wanting to do some serious study but don't want to go back to university so we launched our gap year for mums programme." Google the company for more info.

Hi again,
there is a conference in London 18 June on intergenerational work entitled "Safe and Stringer Communities: creating caring neighbourhoods for all ages". It involves government ministers and senior practitioners but is expensive(!) at £250 per delegate but you may want to watch out for notes/reports after the conference on http://www.4children.org.uk/events/show/ref/147
Best wishes
Bernard
