Mission Statement
Magic Me is an arts charity that brings the generations together to build a stronger, safer community. Our projects often link unlikely partners. Intergenerational groups meet on a weekly basis in schools, museums, older peoples clubs, care homes, community and cultural organisations.
Description
Over the past two decades Magic Me has created opportunities for older and younger people to come together through the arts to build stronger friendly communities.
Our projects use the performing arts, visual arts and music to bring together schools and day centres, sheltered accommodation and community groups, adult volunteers and care home residents.
In 2014-15 we ran 9 projects, 96 project sessions, 191 older and younger people taking part, 76 cocktail parties attended by 342 residents aged 65+ supported by 231 volunteers, all run from one tiny room in East London!
