Creating Connections Grant Programme will be awarding 20+ grants of up to £7,500 to charities and community groups who are helping to reduce loneliness and isolation for the over 65’s. You may be providing direct person centered interventions such as befriending OR group based social activities. We also support Community Transport who assist in bringing together older people.
