Drawing on new data from a study of mobilities and well-being experienced through transition management, this chapter takes a relational approach to consider the value of familial inter-generational activities in the context of mobilities. The chapter draws on existing literature and on new empirical data. This includes interviews with a sample of 51 people aged 55+ in three sites in Northern England, carried out in spring and summer 2014. The chapter concludes by considering the implications of our findings in the light of the growing number of people who will age without children and therefore, whose inter-generational connections will need to be built beyond traditional family networks
