Encouraging and Supporting Grassroots Activity Fund (dementia)
Created: 01/08/2022
News/Events Category: Funding and FinanceThe Encouraging and Supporting Grassroots Activity Fund is aimed at smaller, grassroots organisations and groups looking to provide community-led support for people affected by dementia. A total of £145,921 of funding is available for this strand and within this, applicants can apply for awards of £5,000 to £20,000 over a 12-month period.
Applications should demonstrate that proposed funded activities will:
- Address gaps in support for people with lived experience of dementia in a local area
- Enable the ordinary by removing barriers for people with lived experience to get together and take part in groups and activities
- Trial new approaches and activities that will empower people with lived experience of dementia
- Support intergenerational activity – this could mean working with young carers of people living with dementia or generally including young people within the community
The fund criteria and application process have been co-produced by About Dementia staff and a lived experience panel of people living with dementia and unpaid carers. These individuals have played a crucial role in the fund design and they will be continually involved in the assessment and decision-making process as the fund progresses.
Who can apply
This fund is open to both new and established organisations and community groups including those with or without a constitution. The fund is also open to national organisations as long as it is clear that the proposal is to develop something new within a particular community and is distant from their national work.
