Bring Parents For Fun

prototype, community participation, elderly, Good Seed

Organising activities that help elderly maintain active while strengthening bonding between them and their adult sons and daughters

  

The project team of Bring Parents For Fun believes that quality time spent with family members is of vital importance to the mental health of elderly and that inter-generation integration should start with the family.
Following a collaboration with PaterMater (a social venture supported by the SIE Fund), Bring Parents For Fun is founded with an objective of advocating and promoting events for adult sons and daughters to participate together with their ageing parents. Family members have the chance to communicate, exchange views and strengthen their bonding.
It is expected that by participating in those activities the elderly will feel being respected and cared for while keeping active and energetic.
