“I have been able to learn, contribute, and make sure there is a little more magic and joy in the world”. That’s what David Russell, our outgoing Chair of the Board of Trustees, said about his time with Magic Me. As we begin our search for a new Chair, we talk to David to about his experience.

Thank you to Judy Seall and friends for their fundraising over the summer! Judy was inspired by Magic Me’s intergenerational work to set up her own project: Time Bandits. Time Bandits brings young into care homes for music, drama, and connection - to great applause!

Lots of high street birthday cards are pretty uninspiring, relying on the same ageist jokes. So, primary school pupils from Brick Lane and older Tower Hamlets residents recently joined forces to change the narrative!

Last Thursday, Project Manager Audrey attended DISRUPT: Are we building community power or just co-opting it? It was an event hosted by @guildhallschool.bsky.social that looked into the layers behind the buzz-phrase “community empowerment”.
