The Pargiter Fund
Sussex Community Foundation (SCF) has a new fund now open for applications. It is aimed at older people in grass root groups and projects broadly working around:
* Improving health and well-being: reducing isolation, providing hot meals and refreshments, and helping older people to stay active through sports, arts, recreation, social clubs and volunteering
* Improving access to facilities, advice and training – providing transports, supporting Good Neighbourhood and befriending schemes and improving access to information and IT for older people
* Overcoming problems – helping older people who are experiencing difficult circumstances due to an illness, injury, disability, bereavement or financial difficulty.
Grants are up to £5000 and to apply groups should use the SCF application form: http://www.sussexgiving.org.uk/apply-for-funding/application-forms.php
