Supporting Ageing in Place

 

Supporting Ageing in Place has now closed for proposals.

 

We are looking to fund groups and organisations working with communities to deliver projects in specific neighbourhoods across Greater Manchester. You might want to buy more equipment, improve your venue, run an activity or hold an event for older people.

 

We want to help you make places more age-friendly and encourage older people to spend time with others, especially those from marginalised and low income communities.

 

The second round of funding for Supporting Ageing in Place is now open to deliver projects of up to £2,000. We want to fund what older people in your area want. Projects we have funded in the past include:

 

  • A sensory gardening project for local older people
  • An online ‘Brew & Natter’ group for marginalised older women
  • Developing the outside space of a local Community Centre to increase its accessibility
  • An IT skills development project for men aged 60+ with physical and mental health needs.
  • Installing benches in the local area
  • A ‘Rainbow Walk’ walking group for LGBT older people
  • A local ‘dementia café’ group for older people and their carers

 

Deadline to submit your proposal: midday, Monday 26th July
