Deadline Approaches for Age-friendly and Inclusive Volunteering Fund
29/11/2018
Funding of up to £250,000 is available to support registered charities and Community Interest Companies conducting initiatives in England that will develop and document models of good practice in supporting older people’s voluntary and community activity.
This Fund is provided in response to the findings of the recent publication of the Centre for Ageing Better’s Age-friendly and Inclusive Volunteering: Review of community contributions in later life. This review noted that older people who would benefit most from contributing to their communities are often prevented from doing so by practical, structural and emotional barriers.
