The Golden-Oldies Charity also has an award-winning primary schools inter-generational programme. For the past four years this has been based on projects linked to WW1 1914-1918. In September 2018 came the announcement that the Goldies Schools Project had won the prestigious National Lottery Awards - 2018, Education Category.
