The Foundation is offering around 20 grants of up to £7,500 each to help with the project costs of running dementia clubs and memory cafes in areas of high deprivation affecting older people over the age of 65 years in Great Britain.
Although applications will be accepted from all areas of England, Scotland and Wales, priority will be given to those applications working in more deprived areas. Please see the specified areas in the guidance notes on the Foundation's website. Locations have been selected based on data from the ONS, Age UK, and the Centre for Ageing Better, with a key focus on areas where income deprivation and loneliness affecting older people is most acute.
Community organisations, registered charities, exempt charities and other groups (including CICs limited by guarantee) with an annual income of less than £250,000, a governing document and a bank account in the group's name may apply.
Applications will be accepted from 14 February 2025 to 14 March 2025 (17:00).
