Sophie McKeon - Intergenerational Practice Lead

Sophie McKeon, Intergenerational Practice Lead for Belong, is responsible for driving intergenerational strategy and practice across all Belong Villages. Based in Chester, she will initially be focused on the launch of The Nursery in Belong, working closely with our partners, Ready Generations, to ensure the successful integration of the nursery within the wider village.

As Belong’s strategic lead for intergenerational practice, Sophie will also build on the work to-date of the organisation’s other villages in Cheshire and the North West, who have already established relationships with nurseries, schools and businesses in their respective areas.

A graduate in early years education, the Liverpool John Moores University alumni’s remit will be to create an intergenerational community across all ages and communities to provide positive outcomes for everyone, including improved mental health and wellbeing, healthy places to live and reduced loneliness.
