Community Care Fund for Older People, deadline 5 June

Help the Aged has once again joined forces with Bradford Metropolitan District Council Adult Services to offer grants of up to 500 for smaller voluntary organisationsthat work with older people.

Applications can be made for help with activities which promote the health and well-being of older people. These could include:

  • Start up costs for new groups
  • Equipment
  • Provision of information
  • Expansion into new activities to be run by existing groups
  • Activities which involve new members

This year the Community Care Fund is widening the funding criteria to include training that will enable groups to offer physical exercise activities.

"Grants will not be awarded for continuation funding for activities/ services which this grant has previously supported. Grants cannot be given for trips, outings, food or parties. Neither canthey be paid retrospectively."

Application forms are available from Joan Robertshaw, telephone 01274 435414. The deadline for applications is 5 June.

If you have any questions about this fund please contact either Joan Robertshaw on 01274 435414 or Sue Mann (Help the Aged) on 01524 251408 / 07817 254804
