Funding is available from Barchester’s Charitable Foundation for projects to support older people and adults with a disability. The focus of the foundation is on helping people to connect with others in their local community and so grants can be made for projects that combat loneliness and enable people to be active and engaged.
Applications are accepted from small community groups and local charities for funding to help with:
- Activity projects
- Equipment and materials for use by members
- Member transport
- Day trips, outings and group holidays in the UK
You can apply for up to £2,500.
Priority will be given to innovative projects that help older people and those with a disability to get active, meet people, and reduce isolation.
Grants up to £1,000 are also available to individuals in need of mobility equipment: this is for people over 65 or adults with a disability or mental health problem. All applications for an individual must have a third-party sponsor such as a healthcare professional, social worker, charity, or support group representative.
