Comic Relief: Care Home Challenge Fund
This grant scheme will provide grants for care home providers to deliver activities to improve the wellbeing of residents, and help staff and residents forge stronger relationships. They are keen to receive proposals which view these activities as an opportunity to build bigger positive change within care homes that will be sustained beyond the life of the funding.
Scheme details
…
Comic Relief’s grant scheme will make 20 grants of between £10,000-£20,000 to care home providers from across the UK. Grants will last for between 18-24 months including time for planning, partnership building and delivery. They envisage that each grant will reach a maximum of 4-5 care homes, focussing on quality of delivery led by residents and care home staff rather than volume of people.
This initiative sits under their ‘Health and Wellbeing’ programme area, so they are interested in accepting applications which encourage physical or mental activity, movement and increased mobility, social connections and engagement for residents. This may involve sporting activities such as martial arts or dance, but could also include other forms of gentle leisure/recreational activities such as gardening. Mentally stimulating work may include reminiscence and arts based activities, singing, reading groups etc. They are interested in supporting work which supports residents with a range of abilities.
