Applying for Funding
Our foundation runs a number of grant programmes throughout the year for organisations supporting people over 65.
Community Grants - Spring 2024 - (Now Closed)
We are now closed for applications for our Spring 2024 Grant Programme and will be contacting all applicants w/c 29th April.
Our grants will reopen in Summer 2024. Updates to follow.
Community Socials
Our Community Socials for people over 65 will be launching in Spring 2024 in Winton (Bournemouth) and Canford Heath (Poole).
These monthly sessions are designed to give local people over 65 the opportunity to come together over a hot meal and a drink at a local community hub.

Welcome Wednesday to launch at Winton and Canford Heath in March
Small Community Grants 2024 - Invitation Only
Throughout the year our small community grants support older people to feel valued, engaged and connected with their local community.
These grants of up to £1,000 are run in partnership, often with local McCarthy Stone developments or teams who have fundraised for a community cause supporting older people, and are by invitation only. Regrettably we do not accept unsolicited approaches. However, we are always keen to meet and engage with new organisations so please use the contact page to get in touch.
