This funding aims to create festive connections across generations and between organisations that wouldn’t normally work together.  Christmas and the festive season spirit offer a great opportunity to develop connections and make a difference in our communities.  LGNI’s vision is that these connections and relationships will continue into the future.

Activities can be a one-off event or a project delivered over a number of sessions promoting the value of intergenerational connections at a time of year that so many may feel lonely and disconnected.

The small grants are £125 and open to a range of groups across Northern Ireland including: older people’s groups, care homes, schools, community groups, youth groups etc.  All activities must take place during December and be mutually beneficial for all involved.  The grants will form part of LGNI’s Christmas Campaign and they ask that grantees share their activities and good news stories with them and on social media to inspire and spread festive cheer!
