National Lottery Arts and Older People Programme - Arts council NI

The Arts & Older People Programme aims to strengthen the voice of older people and promote positive mental health and emotional well-being through the arts.  The proposed projects should reflect the partnership approach with the target groups they plan to engage with and have support from them in the delivery.

To ensure a strong advocacy message there will be an opportunity to showcase the projects funded throughout the year.  Applicants should endeavour to build this into their project programme and budget.

The programme is aimed at constituted community and voluntary groups who are working at a local level to support older people and can demonstrate strong partnership working with older people groups.

This programme is also open to non-governmental organisations, Local Authorities and arts organisations who can clearly demonstrate partnership working.

We are looking for partnership or consortia-based projects. Partnerships can be led by either age sector providers, arts organisations or Local Authorities, however the consortium must be made up of appropriate representatives and demonstrate a commitment to working together. Other specialists who work with older people may also be included as named partners in the consortium.
