During 2023-24, over £160,000 has been awarded through the Hall Green NNS grants programme to 16 fantastic projects for older people aged 50+ and younger adults with a long term disability.
You can find out about all the projects that have received funding on our awarded grants page.
Here are details about two of the projects which have recently been awarded funding:
Building Lives Together
The ‘Remembering Bollywood’ project will add a new dimension to Bollywood music and dance as a popular art form. As a result of the professional development and performances that the project will support, Bollywood music and dance will be able to reach out to people who are suffering from Dementia and poor mental health. This will mainly be elderly people of South Asian extraction who use English as a second language. The project will be presented by two artists who will engage service users in storytelling, singing and dancing.
Mila CIC
The ‘Bridging Generations’ project is a 40-week outreach programme for elderly residents (aged 50+) with a particular focus on those from Baltic and Central European communities. The project will deliver weekly drop-in sessions, digital literacy and IT support, additional support and warm drinks and snacks.
