Those wanting to support Campaspe's older residents are now able to apply for funding through Council's Seniors Program Grants.
Mayor, Cr Chrissy Weller, said the Seniors Program Grants provides funds of up to $1,000 to deliver programs or activities to older citizens.
"Council seeks projects that effectively address social isolation for seniors while adhering to Covid-safe regulations," Cr Weller said.
Some examples could include:
- Establishment of social groups on social media
- Equipment to directly support senior programs
- Development of videos for senior's education and enjoyment
- Support developing technology skills
- Creation of local stories to share with seniors
The program forms part of the strategic direction within the Council Plan to build strong and engaged communities.
