How much is on offer? £5.5m will fund 12 intergenerational projects across England.
What will it fund? A range of projects that increase intergenerational activity, such as schemes to provide young people with positive older role models, or challenge older people's negative perceptions of young people. Projects should help to support vulnerable young and older people, by giving them the chance to experience new activities and improve their confidence.
Who can apply? All local authorities in England are invited to apply by 10 June. Applications should come from social or children's services departments, in partnership with relevant third-sector organisations.
