Charities have been invited to apply to a £250,000 fund for projects to encourage more older people to volunteer.

The Centre for Ageing Better will award funding from the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport of between £40,000 and £60,000 to up to five projects that pilot, develop and share new approaches to age-friendly and inclusive volunteering.

The deadline is midday on 10 December, with the funding being awarded in March 2019 and spent over the following 12 months.

Pamber parish council were really pleased with the support provided by Action Hampshire’s Rural Housing Enabler helping us through the development process. It was a good experience.
Chris Goss, Pamber Parish Council
Action Hampshire has always been a useful font of information for us at Winchester Churches Nightshelter. Sue has always been really helpful, and I do find the updates from the ‘wider’ world to be of interest.
Michèle Price, Winchester Churches Nightshelter
Having Action Hampshire as a point of reference, support and guidance is invaluable for small to medium sized charities like ourselves. Without them, we would be far less connected and less able to serve our beneficiaries in a meaningful and coordinated way.
Juno Hollyhock, The Rose Road Association
I have found Action Hampshire to be truly innovative and forward thinking in their approach to their work and their passion for the voluntary and community sector is easily measured through their work to help improve the lives of all sections of the community.
Grant Cornwell, Hampshire & Isle of Wight Community Foundation
Action Hampshire are the most fantastic organisation and it has been a pleasure to collaborate with them. They are very positive and easy to work with, from Rachel’s warmth on the front desk all the way up to Sue’s vast knowledge and experience on the top floor.
George Scott-Welsh, IncuHive
