Funding:
Comic Relief - Older People's Programme
This programme is built around supporting older people to bring positive change to their communities, enabling them to contribute their time, energy and skills to those individuals who need it most.
They are able to support applications from a range of organisations including self help and community groups, voluntary organisations, community interest companies and social enterprises who are targeting their work at older people aged 65 and over.
They want to fund a broad range of projects where there is clear evidence of:
- Older people being actively engaged in developing and planning the work
- Older people being actively involved in the delivery of the work through their role as mentors, peer supporters or advocates
- How the project will lead to new ways of working.
They are interested in supporting applications which will help them understand more about:
- The best ways older people can bring about change in their communities
- The added value of projects being led and delivered by older people
- The most effective ways of sharing innovative practice in meeting older people’s needs.
Deadline: 10th June 2011.
They are usually able to let you know the outcome of your expression of interest within 3-4 weeks of the deadline.
