Bluebell Federation:
National Finalists for Community Outreach Development
Intergenerational opera is delighted that the Bluebell Federation, whom we have worked with for 5 years running, under the leadership of Headteacher Petrina Ferris have been shortlisted to national finalists for community outreach development. Due to the success of their Intergenerational opera projects they have also developed a weekly community lunch club and a gardening group working alongside local older people in their community to improve well-being. We are delighted that these schools are enhancing the school environment and local community through Intergenerational work.

Co-founder announcement
Intergenerational Opera would like to announce that co-founder Charlotte Shaw will now be pursuing a full-time teaching position in Kent and will therefore be stepping away from her position within the company.
In a statement, Charlotte wrote 'Intergenerational Opera will always hold a very special place in my heart. I still feel passionately about the workshops have to offer our community and feel extremely proud of what we have achieved so far. Though I will not be part of the daily running, I will continue to offer support and guidance where I can.'
