Older People in H&F To Benefit from Community Grant

A Hammersmith and Fulham care provider has launched its first Community Grant scheme and is making available £250 to a community group or initiative that works with older people within LBHF. The group that can best demonstrate a need for additional support will be allocated the funds. Bluebird Care is a local provider of care in the home and Nathan Hartley is coordinating the scheme on their behalf. He says: The Community Grant will also come with support and advice. We want to work with a local project that gives older people an opportunity to try something new and that will add benefit to their lives.  Examples of the type of projects we are looking for could include gardening, leisure, recreational or musical activities.”

Older People Services Providers’ Network

At the last meeting of the Westminster Community Network, participants focused on identifying unmet community needs and how best to work together to address them. One of the outcomes of the network meeting was an agreement to set up a new Older People Services Providers’ Network. The aim of the network will be, to help providers share experiences, reduce overlaps in services and enable us to work more effectively together to meet the needs of older people in Westminster.  In time this might lead to joint bidding for funding and contracts. We would therefore like to invite you to the first of a regular series of Older People Services Provider’s Network meetings for voluntary sector organisations working in Westminster. Items for discussion will be; 

  • Services and Asset mapping
  • Collaborative Working
  • Setting terms of reference for the network

A full agenda will be sent in due course. If you would like to nominate yourself to chair the network, please let us know by replying to this invitation. Please register to attend the first meeting that will be held on:

Thursday 11 May 2017 2-4pm

One Westminster – 37 Chapel Street NW1 5DP
