About
Intergenerational Growth
Oak Note SCIO is a Scottish Charity focused on Intergenerational Growth. We serve the oldest and youngest in our communities, combatting social isolation and loneliness experienced by our senior citizens, and building confidence and teaching life skills to our young people. We believe in learning from the past but including everyone in the future, and we aim to empower each generation through mutual learning and shared experiences.
