In June, we announced that we were offering small pots of funding (up to £250) to support new initiatives and events to increase age friendliness in communities and areas across Bristol.
The fund was launched in partnership with the Celebrating Age Festival, and highlights from the activities will be showcased at the launch event on 23rd September at City Hall. We’ll soon have a list of the dates and venues of all the Community Chest events, so keep an eye out on the website for the details.
Many of these activities and events are already taking place at a location near you. Please check out this following list with more information about what is going on:
