About I Wish I'd Asked Melbourne

I Wish I'd Asked have developed an innovative program to tackle the issue of loneliness in our communities. Our activities are designed to foster intergenerational connectedness, bring back the art of conversation for our young people and allow our older generations to share their wisdom and experience.

Our Purpose

I Wish I'd Asked stimulates intergenerational connections with the aim of easing loneliness and depression through conversation, skill sharing activities and the exchange of life experiences.

Our Founders

On a Port Melbourne street in 2018, friends Eva Gruen and Danny Finley were chatting about the mysteries of growing older and the wisdom this process bestows upon us.

Our Partners

The I Wish I'd Asked initiative wouldn’t be possible without the support of our sponsors. We are proud to be affiliated with all of our partners, and would like to take this opportunity to say thank you.

Our Inspiration

Composed especially for the I Wish I'd Asked pilot programme in Shepparton, this song is a duet where the younger singer asks the senior person about their life.
