Cost-of-living Grants Fund
In response to the cost-of-living crisis Independent Age are looking to provide 25 grants of £40,000 (£1million total) to charities and community organisations to get more money into the pockets of older people and help ensure they do not have to choose between buying food to eat and heating their home this winter. Projects must be in addition to or an extension of existing work – the grants cannot fund business-as-usual projects.
This fund will support projects like:
News Type:
Shared Topic Areas:
Ring and Ride service or from a policy perspective.
researchers’ experiences.
levels of mental wellbeing.
to protect yourself from scams then contact Age UK who will be happy to book in a home visit.
Grants of between £15,000 and £75,000 are available to charitable organisations which provide care and services for older people, particularly if they have a neurodegenerative condition or are isolated.
A warm welcome is essential when encouraging older people to take part in activities and remain connected in their communities, especially if they have faced loneliness or social isolation. The Warm Welcome Toolkit has been created by Ageing Better in Camden after gathering ideas, resources and tips from older people that have been working with and delivery partners who have been running activities for the past seven years.
The Talking About My Generation team has launched a new programme of training. The training is for existing community reporters and members of the public over the age of 50 across Greater Manchester who are interested in learning new skills.
