Small grants are available to fund projects to improve the lives of the elderly across the UK.
Home Instead Charities awards grants for well-being events, activities, or pastimes that prevent social isolation and loneliness among adults over 55.
Eligibility Criteria:
· small grass roots organisations can apply for funding up to £500
· small local registered charities can apply for funding up to £1,500
Eligible projects may include:
· regular weekly or monthly events and activities such as a weekly cinema club, weekly knit and natter or Thursday lunch club
· a one-off activity such as a day trip or a Christmas lunch
· activities such as yoga or a guest speaker for your group, such as a local historian
Applications will also be considered from groups, associations, and charities that do not directly service the over-50s but the project they require funding for does, e.g., a local school wishes to hold a special afternoon tea for its local care home residents.
Applications received in July will be processed and awarded in August 2025.
