Tempted by the offer of a grant for your community work?

It may be that you could win a small grant for work in your area if you can show it helps reduce social isolation in your community?

The Barchester Charitable Foundation has launched grants to support projects that tackle loneliness among older people and adults with a disability. The foundation offers grants of up to £2,500 to charitable organisations and community groups working to connect or re-connect people with others in their local community.

Funding can support activity projects, equipment and materials, member transport, and day trips, outings and group holidays.

The foundation prioritises innovative projects that help older people and those with disabilities to get active, meet people, and reduce isolation. Applications that combat loneliness and enable people to be active and engaged receive the highest priority.

The foundation focuses on small, local organisations and does not typically fund groups with reserves exceeding £100,000.
