Age Exchange is a national centre for Reminiscence Arts and dementia intervention
At Age Exchange we put people at the heart of what we do.

Intergenerational Arts
Our high quality intergenerational story telling projects bring together young and old across generations to explore shared feelings of isolation, to celebrate our shared heritages and to become stronger together.
We have over 30 years working in the creative arts with communities so as to promote understanding and support Individuals to enhance and develop new skills. Over the decades we have built a gallery of work with thousands of people, working in schools, in community centres and in our own theatre.
