A CHARITY is bridging the gap between the old and young by encouraging them to make Christmas decorations together.
Children from Tow Law Millennium Primary School visited elderly residents at the town's Baring Court yesterday to help them make decorations to bring Christmas cheer to their communal room and adjoining flats.
Youngsters have previously enjoyed visiting and spending time in the company of the residents and yesterday was no exception.
The blossoming friendships between the generations is part of Age Concern Durham County's Intergenerational Programme.
The programme is funded by One NorthEast until March 2006. It aims to bring old and young people together to share skills, experience and friendship.
Projects over the coming months will include drama and film workshops, local history projects and environmental improvements.
