Arts & Older People Programme

The Arts & Older People Programme offers funding to community groups, voluntary groups and arts organisations who want to work with older people in Northern Ireland.  The programme aims to develop arts projects on related social issues such as poverty, isolation and loneliness.

The voice of older people should be at the heart of these projects.  Innovative, community-led activities focusing on issues identified by older people can be based on any art form, from painting, crafts and filmmaking, to poetry, storytellying, music, carnival, song and dance.

The Arts & Older People Programme can fund up to 100% of project costs.

Organisations can apply for awards from £500 to £50,000.

All application forms and guidance notes are available to download from our website at www.artscouncil-ni.org or by contacting us directly.
