Big Lottery Fund - Silver Dreams

The aim of the fund is to “pioneer ways of working with older people that will allow them to have a much greater role in their communities”. BLF are particularly interested in proposals which help vulnerable older people cope better with the major life changes which are common in older age e.g. onset of disability, bereavement, retirement and long-term illness.

 

BLF are also seeking to challenge preconceptions and myths about ageing and older people – they want to “celebrate the many diverse ways that older people are contributing to and could contribute to family, community and civic life”.

 

Cash available: £50k - £200k for up to 30 ideas that meet the challenge. 

 

Interested organisations should submit their idea via an online expression of interest form on the BLF website by midday on 28th October.
