Grants are available to both large and small project which seek to improve  the environment in which old people live. This includes:

• The care and environment of older people.
• Rehabilitation for older people.
• ‘Cinderella’ or ‘unfashionable’ projects which often find it difficult to attract funding.
• The delivery of solutions that address disability, disease and frailty related to ageing.

There are four categories of award:

• Building grants.
• Equipment grants.
• Core costs/staffing grants.
• Small grants (usually under £10,000).

 

No awards are made for less than £1,000, grants over £1million are only made in exceptional circumstances. Grants are normally awarded for a maximum of three years. In 2012/13 a total of  £2.675 million was made available for grants.  The Trust will consider applications for direct costs such as staffing, buildings or equipment for specific purposes related to the above.
