They have £7,500 funding available for projects that focus on supporting older people (over 65) with loneliness and income deprivation. Community organisations, registered charities and other groups (including CICs limited by guarantee) may apply.
Organisations must have:
- An annual income less than £250,000.
- A governing document.
- A registered bank account in the name of the organisation.
Organisations must be working with adults over 65 years of age and providing direct person-centred interventions (e.g. befriending) or group-based social activity to address loneliness and isolation in deprived areas.
Applications from all areas that can demonstrate a local level of need are considered but priority will be given to applications from deprived areas.
Closing date is 23 August, funding awarded in October.
