The Grant Program is available for projects and initiatives that support people aged 65 years and over, and Aboriginal people aged 50 years and over.
The Grant Program is an action under Priority Area 3: Participating in Inclusive Communities in the Ageing Well in NSW: Seniors Strategy 2021-2031.
The target group for the Connecting Seniors grant program is aligned with the Ageing Well in NSW: Seniors Strategy 2021 – 2031 and must include older people who are considered at higher risk of isolation.
The 2025 Grant Program aims to build social connections and reduce isolation for older people, including those aged 65 years and over, or 50 years and over for Aboriginal people.
The objectives of the Connecting Seniors grant program are to:
provide meaningful and lasting social connections that can be maintained beyond the program
help older people connect with each other through small group activities held in person throughout the year to build and maintain social connections (rather than a one-off activity)
enable older people to develop lasting quality relationships
engage new people, particularly harder-to-reach older people
help older people and young people connect through intergenerational projects
