Our Work
Our award winning arts projects bring joy and connection to older and younger people in East London and Essex.
Magic Me - The Intergenerational Arts Charity
We build stronger communities, foster wellbeing and combat loneliness by bringing younger and older people together via extraordinary creative activities. From our base in Tower Hamlets, we're one of the leading voices in intergenerational exchange.
We're at Wellcome Collection!
At Wellcome's 'The Coming of Age' exhibition, see first-hand what happened on our 'It's On The Cards' project when our artists and participants created an imaginary birthday card design studio to challenge ageism and find the joy in reaching big birthday milestones. Open until November 2026.

35 years of intergenerational arts
Founded in 1989 by Susan Langford MBE, Magic Me brings the generations together through the arts. Our pioneering work builds more resilient and integrated societies, focussing on the real concerns and interests of the community. In a typical Magic Me project, 7 year olds and 70 year olds are equal partners – whether they’re making puppets, filming a documentary or co-creating a 5 storey high mural.
