Simon and Isabel are Homesharers with a 50 year age gap. Describing the benefits of intergenerational friendship, Isabel said:

“I get on well with Simon, we have things in common... Simon has helped me get to know the area, & I have been cooking shared meals.”

“I’m fortunate to have this opportunity to spend time with a younger person. I’ve taught her to read a map & we’ve looked at maps of the area together.”

Great feedback from a Leeds Householder about intergenerational living!
