Aging Enrichment
We researched and applied ideas about enriching the lives of our elders. We developed three innovative programs:
Mentoring Experience – We put together retirees with young people looking for personal or business mentoring.
Creative Giving – We created opportunities for elder older people to use their creative talents in ways that will allow them to share them with those from the developing world, including jewelry making, knitting, and painting.
Treasured Moments – We created short films of older people sharing their wisdom in unique and personal ways -through stories, moments, or insights to benefit younger people.
Bullying and Social Exclusion
We developed and ran initiatives to better ensure inclusion for all children in both formal and informal settings. We explored ways to raise awareness and consciousness among children and young people to help to make groups more inclusive. We conducted multiple fun and interactive workshops for children of all ages and their parents and teachers.
Values Based Parenting
We developed a practical parenting approach that builds character and instills values through enhanced values-based communication methods. We developed and ran parenting workshops, and we created materials for parents to use with their children
The Noah Show
We supported the creation and delivered the Noah Show which shared a universal message of interpersonal values to young children in an engaging and entertaining manner. The presentation was delivered in multiple locations across the country.
Youth Development
We supported a girls’ youth development program based in North London. Projects included regular meetings and events, summer and winter camps, as well as volunteering and leadership development opportunities
Community Development
Tag has an ongoing partnership in South London that supports a range of community initiatives, from activities for small children to adult education, from outreach work to extensive refurbishment of a community space.
Knitted Bears
We partnered with Age UK for elderly women to knit bears, which were then distributed to highly disadvantaged people in impoverished communities in developing countries. As part of this project, large numbers of knitted bears were handed out in Kenya, Myanmar, and Indonesia. Photos were taken and shown to those who made the bears, so they would enjoy a sense of purpose and feel the satisfaction of knowing the handiwork was benefiting people in distant places.
