Formed after an intergenerational project between a local school and Hackney Caribbean Elders, the initial project worked to help people from a range of different social, cultural and economic backgrounds to enjoy and become a part of Sutton House. The short term project was so successful that the group became a permanent fixture, and is now open to anyone over 55 years old.
We usually meet for three terms a year, each of six or seven weeks, for a varied programme of activities and events, including African drumming, singing, dancing, life-drawing, creative writing, exercising, embroidering, collaging and zine- and print-making.
