Funds of up to £7,000 are available for voluntary organisations supporting older people, specifically preventative and early intervention programmes being delivered at the community level which allow older people to stay in their own homes and remain independent. They are interested in programmes that can demonstrate their effectiveness in improving the quality of life of older people. They favour projects that offer a consistent and sustained benefit rather than one-off events or short-lived activities.
They will fund projects in the following subcategories:
- Programmes aiming to alleviate isolation and depression in older people, including informal day care or social, physical and recreational activities
- Programmes which give practical help, assistance and support for older people living in their own homes
- Programmes addressing the emotional and practical needs of older carers
- Programmes designed to meet the specific needs of people with dementia
