The Golden-Oldies Charity has led award-winning Schools projects since it started 11 years ago. Our new inter-generational primary schools project commemorating the final months of WW1 leading up to the Armistice on
​November 11, 1918, will be launched in November 2017.
​
We will tell you then how you can download information, including WW1 song medleys for your pupils to sing, project suggestions, information videos and many other exciting ways for your children to learn more about how the First World War affected lives and communities across England and Wales.

You can register your interest by emailing our founder Grenville Jones who will lead the project
