About this grant

[DEDUPE 2026-08-20: duplicate of 'Small Grants for Small Charities Supporting Older People' (6a3e162de5614475741a595c) — same page re-ingested by the sourcing pipeline.] The Charles Hayward Foundation offers grants of up to £7,000 to small UK registered charities (annual income under £350,000) running programmes in the British Isles that support older people. Eligible programmes include those that alleviate isolation and depression in older people (e.g. day care, social, physical or recreational activities), provide practical help for older people living in their own homes, address the emotional and practical needs of older carers, or meet the specific needs of people with dementia. The Foundation prioritises preventative and early intervention programmes at community level that help older people remain independent and demonstrate sustained improvement in quality of life.
