Celebrating Age 2016: Small Grant Scheme

March 10, 2016/ Stephanie Brolly

This year Linking Generations want to support 33 activities (3 in each of the 11 new local council areas in Northern Ireland). Linking Generations want to give up to £150 to each group to enable you to host a celebration event/project/activity that will contribute to making Northern Ireland Age-friendly.

The deadline for applications has now been extended to Monday 14th March 2016 at 5pm. They are particularly keen to hear from groups in the following council areas:

Derry City & Strabane
Fermanagh & Omagh
Lisburn & Castlereagh
Antrim & Newtownabbey Borough
Mid Ulster
Belfast

As with previous years, Linking Generations are looking for applications that are about celebrating relationships between generations in neighbourhoods, workplaces, schools, care homes, community centres, youth groups or... anywhere!
