International Day of Older People 2026

Grant Application Form
Community Grants of up to £300 are available to help run IDOP events centred on the theme “What’s on your doorstep?”, which celebrates the people, places and services that help us to stay active and connected in our community

We usually receive far more applications than we can fund and, unfortunately, have a limited budget. As such, we are looking to fund approximately ten grants.
