HELP the Aged, through the Millennium Commission, is offering grants of between £1,000 and £10,000 to older people who want to start up grass-root projects in their villages or towns.
Some exciting ideas have already been put forward such as a community magazine, senior citizens clubs, car-share schemes and sculpture classes. We're waiting for your ideas. Anyone interested can phone the Help the Aged Millennium Awards Desk on 0171 250 4477 between 9am and 1pm Monday to Friday. There is friendly help and advice available - especially on filling in the forms.
