GRANTS of £250 are being offered to help local groups host fun events for older people as part of Silver Sunday 2018.
Silver Sunday is a national celebration of older people and their contribution to communities.
This year Silver Sunday is on 7 October and Mid Sussex District Council is encouraging local people to show their support by organising an enjoyable activity for people over the age of 65.
The council is offering grants of £250 to any group that would like to organise a Silver Sunday event.
The offer is available to all, from large charities right through to small community groups who would like to show their appreciation for their older neighbours.
To apply for a grant simply complete an online application form at www.midsussex.gov.uk/grants and submit it by June 30.
You can contact Regina Choudhury on 01444 477495 for more details.
