Community groups, grassroots organisations, small local and registered charities, and Community Interest Companies working with people aged 55 and over can apply for funding from the Home Instead Charities Grant Programme, delivered by Home Instead Charities. Grants are available for projects that enhance wellbeing or reduce social isolation, such as social clubs, day trips, exercise sessions, and community activities. Funding is aimed at small, local initiatives and cannot be used for salaries, core running costs, or capital projects. Applicants must demonstrate inclusivity and have a bank account in the organisation’s name. There is no fixed maximum grant publicly specified, and applications are made via local Home Instead offices. There is no set closing date. Funding to Improve the Lives of the Elderly (UK)
