Annotation	Recently, intergenerational activities have become increasingly well established across the UK and Europe as policymakers struggle with a steadily ageing population and its impacts on public services and finances. This article documents how the UK's national policy agenda has begun to recognise and acknowledge intergenerational practice in general and the potential of intergenerational shared sites (IGSS) in particular, where young people and older adults receive services at the same facility and typically share space and resources. The authors highlight major policy drivers, document previous policy developments and provide an overview of current practice in the field. (JL).
