The Heart is an intergenerational community hub at the heart of the Newhaven community in Edinburgh.
Our vision is that our intergenerational and collaborative practice encourages, develops and facilitates inclusive activities which increase tolerance, celebrate diversity and promote individual and community wellbeing. Our aspiration is to work in partnership to bring older and young people together through purposeful, mutually beneficial activities to promote greater understanding and respect between generations. We want young people and older people to be better connected, less socially isolated and more actively engaged with their community, contributing towards active citizenship, increased independence, wellbeing and self-confidence.
Our aim is that through partnership working and community engagement we seek to reduce isolation, challenge and remove barriers to participation and create opportunities for people of all ages, all walks of life and with a variety of interests, to come together. The Heart helps people experience, share and exchange culture and heritage, engage in formal and informal learning and develop business and enterprise skills in an accessible and welcoming environment that contributes to the positive wellbeing of our Community.
