Older People's Programme Comic Relief is inviting the voluntary and community sector throughout the UK where older people aged 65+ are developing ideas for action and change, to submit applications through their Older People's Programme. The programme aims to support older people to bring positive change to their community;and help older people feel less isolated, especially those who are most excluded such as; black and minority ethnic elders; frail older people with mental health needs; older carers; and those on lower incomes. Examples of the types of projects they will fund include; bringing the generations together to learn from each other through, for example, the creative arts or IT; older people acting as a resource to other older people and supporting those who may be less physically and mentally able; projects that are engaging hard to reach groups; activities which generate profits to further social or environmental goals, such as community cafes run by older people. Most grants are expected to be of between £15,000 and £40,000 per year. Grants may be for up to 3 years. The next closing date for applications is the 21st May 2010. http://www.comicrelief.com/apply_for_a_grant/uk/olderpeople |

A key element of the strategy is to strengthen local community events and projects which help to bring people together. To help more local groups run such events the ‘Bringing People Together’ Fund is available to provide grants of up to £2000 to local community, faith and voluntary groups across Derbyshire to help deliver community projects taking place before 30 September 2010. Examples of how the fund could be spent are: • Activities that bring young people from different backgrounds and areas together .• Older people’s groups sharing experiences with local school children. • Activities that help neighbours get to know each other better. • Activities that connect schools with the wider community. These are just examples, but projects are likely to involve arts, food, heritage or community benefit, and be aimed at promoting a sense of belonging and community. Applications can be submitted at any time until 16 July 2010. For more information and the application form see the related documents section on the DCC website page:
