NEW GRANTS OPEN - SOCIAL PARTICIPATION FOR SENIORS

A new small grants program to create or expand opportunities for culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) seniors to participate in the community is now open.

As part of the Victorian Government’s Participation for CALD Seniors Grants Program, eligible organisations can apply for up to $10,000 to help generate opportunities for socially isolated CALD seniors to engage in their communities.  The grants program will have four grant rounds over four years.

The first round opens for applications on 5 March 2012 and closes on 27 April 2012.  More information about the grants is available on Seniors Online (www.seniorsonline.vic.gov.au) or by contacting Georgia Nicholls on (03) 9096 1052 or at Georgia.nicholls@health.vic.gov.au.
