Funding Information

Founded by Home Instead, the UK’s leading provider of home care, Home Instead Charities’ mission is to end loneliness for ageing adults. The organisation exists to bring happiness and joy into the lives of Britain’s ageing population so that ageing adults are thriving, not just surviving.

To this end, they offer funding to support local community events that enhance and enrich the lives of people over the age of 55 to combat loneliness and sometimes isolation ensuring they stay fit, active, healthy and connected and contributing to their local communities.

There are two levels of funding:

  • Grants of up to £500 for small grass roots organisations.
  • Grants of up to £1,500 for small local registered charities. Larger grants can be considered for exceptional projects.

The funder will only fully fund a grant request where the applicant holds no more than three months operating costs in reserve. For organisations that have more than this, up to 50% of the project costs will be funded.

The grants can be used for:

  • Regular weekly or monthly events and activities such as weekly cinema club, weekly knit and natter or Thursday lunch club.
  • One off activities such as a day trip or a Christmas lunch.
  • Activities such as yoga or a guest speaker for the group such as a local historian.

There are four application windows per year (January, April, July and October). Applications received outside of these window will not be processed.

Applications for this window will be accepted from 1 October until 31 October and will be processed and awarded in November 2025.
