Brampton Manor, part of Boutique Care Homes, is proud to announce that it has been shortlisted for the Intergenerational Connections Award at the National Activity Providers Association (NAPA) Awards 2025.
This recognition highlights Brampton Manor’s commitment to building purposeful and lasting connections across generations, creating opportunities for residents, families, and the wider community to share experiences, knowledge, and joy. At Brampton, intergenerational engagement is not a one-off event but an integral part of daily life and culture.
Intergenerational Connections at the Heart of Care
Brampton Manor has partnered with nurseries, schools, and local organisations to nurture meaningful relationships with children ranging from toddlers to sixth formers. Carefully designed sessions include memory exercises, arts and crafts, storytelling, resident-led discussions, music, dance, and gardening – all helping to strengthen bonds across generations.
The home’s Life Enrichment Programme, built on six principles of wellbeing, brings three to life through intergenerational work such as Grow where residents share wisdom, learn from others, and explore new interests. Connect where building friendships and relationships that enhance emotional wellbeing. Also, Contribute, maintains purpose and identity through active community involvement.
Highlights of Brampton Manor’s Intergenerational Work
- Boogie Babies with Clip Clop Nursery – A fortnightly session where nursery children and residents sing, dance, and create together. These joyful encounters rekindle fond family memories, spark laughter, and bring renewed purpose.
- World Book Day – Pupils from Fairstead House School joined residents, including those from the Nostalgia Community, for a day of reading, reminiscence, and storytelling. Residents even gifted books to pupils, creating treasured memories across generations.
- Gardening Together – As part of the National Garden Trust Scheme, residents and pupils planted and cared for Brampton’s gardens, exchanging seeds, skills, and stories. This simple act of nurturing plants became a living symbol of growing friendships.
Ahki Goswami, Home Manager at Brampton Manor, said: “We are thrilled to be recognised for our intergenerational work at the NAPA Awards 2025. At Brampton, these connections bring purpose, joy, and belonging. Watching residents light up when they share moments with children is truly heart-warming. The laughter, conversations, and bonds created remind us daily of the power of bringing generations together.”
Ameet Kotecha, Founder & Managing Director of Boutique Care Homes, added: “We believe in creating communities where every generation has something to share, teach, and learn. The work at Brampton Manor shows the profound impact that intergenerational relationships can have on wellbeing and identity. Being shortlisted for this award is a testament to the dedication of the Brampton team, who continue to inspire by weaving these connections into the fabric of daily life.”
