Company mission
To bring young and old together to learn and to tackle isolation by connecting people across generations.
100% female employees
Our take
InCommon is a charitable organisation that brings generations together through its intergenerational programs to build more connected, age-friendly communities. With inclusivity at the heart of everything this charity does, its range of programs and age groups empowers people to connect, learn, support, and grow together.
The company partners with schools, youth groups, housing associations, and various community organisations, resulting in over 1,500 connections and thousands of volunteer hours. Initially founded in 2017 as a social enterprise company, it has since restructured to become a registered charity, forming a new legal entity InCommon Foundation. Looking forward, InCommon is focused on further improving its structure to deliver widespread impact.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at InCommon
- We have a co-created anti-prejudice charter covering how we can show up in the areas of our programme, comms, team, partnerships and the wider charity sector
- We hold bi-monthly anti-prejudice forums, which are a chance to dive deeper into a particular issue area, or reexamine part of InCommon's approach. Our last forum was about how to challenge prejudice during intergenerational sessions and previous topics have included money, disability and the refugee and asylum system. We encourage all team members to volunteer to host a forum so this work is shared across the team.
