Golden Tales Short Story Competition

The Golden Tales short story competition was a celebration of Grandparents Day on 27 October 2024. As part of the competition we invited older adults (ages 65+) to tell us about a special younger person and children (ages 4 to 14) to tell us about a special older person who has touched their hearts.

This competition celebrated and recognised connections between generations and the wisdom our older community members bring to our lives.
