Kipling Fund for Older People

The Kipling Fund for Older People provides grants to individuals and charitable not-for-profit groups helping older people facing disadvantage in Cumbria. The fund was established through a legacy from a Cumbrian farmer and prioritizes projects supporting older adults, people with mental health needs, and people on low incomes. Examples of supported projects include social inclusion activities for isolated older people, local support groups for older people affected by heart conditions and strokes, support groups for people with dementia, and mobility aids for older people. Grants will normally be £1,000 or less over one year, though there is no maximum award amount.
