National Lottery Arts and Older People Programme – closing 22 Oct

The Arts & Older People Programme aims to strengthen the voice of older people and promote positive mental health and emotional wellbeing through encouraging greater participation in the arts. The proposed projects should reflect the partnership approach with the target groups they plan to engage with and have the support from them in the delivery.

To ensure a strong advocacy message there will be an opportunity to showcase the projects funded throughout the year. Applicants should endeavour to build this into their project programme and budget.
