The Full of Life Fund from Richmond Council, offering small grants for local events, is back to run alongside the Full of Life Fair which will be held at the RFU in Twickenham on Friday 23 September 2022.

The Fund was set up to support organisations across the borough to have their own smaller scale, in-person events to celebrate Silver Sunday and the International Day of Older Persons.

Organisations and groups who work with older people are invited to apply for £250 of funding to host events.

Events will need to take place near the time of Silver Sunday and the Full of Life Fair, between 24 September and 15 October 2022.

Applicants need to outline how they plan to use money to celebrate Silver Sunday and how the celebration supports one of the five ways to wellbeing – to connect, be active, take notice, keep learning and to give.

The closing date for applications is 10am on Monday 22 August 2022.
