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.”
