NESTA Age Unlimited Scotland seek your ideas
Listen to this item
NESTA, a public body established by Parliament to encouraged innovation and funded with Lottery money, has launched a new programme in Scotland called Age Unlimited.
Here’s what it says:
We are looking for people in their 50’s and 60’s in Scotland to come forward with new ideas that could be turned into live community projects which would improve the lives of older people (people in their 70’s, 80’s and above). The programme aims to test how older people can be engaged in the design and delivery of innovative new services that could improve older people’s health and well-being and reduce dependency on costly mainstream public services.
Maybe you have experience as a carer or volunteer with older people and have skills and experience you’d be willing to share. Maybe you are looking for a new challenge? If so, we want to hear from you. In return we’ve got support and funding to make your idea become real.
More information and the application form for the Age Unlimited programme can be found online: www.nesta.org.uk/age-unlimited-scotland. If you have any queries or would prefer to complete a paper application, please call 01382 229521 or email ageunlimitedinscotland@nesta.org.uk and we will post you a form. Our application closes on 1st March 2010.
