legacy-sharing projects
Through our cross-generational legacy-sharing projects, we bridge the gap between different age groups, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for the contributions of the Windrush Generation. These projects educate, raise awareness, and instil a sense of pride and belonging in both the elders and the younger generations.
Socially active, adventurous, and purposeful.
WGLA also organises outings and trips, allowing the community to explore new places. These excursions provide a change of scenery and act as a source of joy and rejuvenation for the participants.
