Established in May 2004, the Wales Centre for Intergenerational Practice (CCIP) is an initiative of the Beth Johnson Foundation, funded by the Wales Assembly Government, and developed in partnership with  the University of Glamorgan who host and administer the Centre .

The Centre aims to support the development of Intergenerational Practice (IP) throughout Wales and sees intergenerational approaches as an effective tool in promoting sustainable community development and in reducing social exclusion.

Key to our understanding of intergenerational work is that it aims to bring generations together in purposeful, mutually beneficial activities which promote greater understanding and respect between generations and help to build more cohesive communities.
