THE NSW Government has launched a $600,000 initiative called the Connecting Seniors grant program to enhance social engagement and skill development among seniors. Minister for Seniors Jodie Harrison announced the program, aiming to combat social isolation among older individuals, especially those living alone. The program has three categories, offering creation grants of $20,000 each to five innovative projects, enhancement/expansion grants of $30,000 each to 120 organizations, and local council grants of $40,000 each to five councils. These grants build on previous successful initiatives, focusing on reducing senior isolation and loneliness. Applications close on October 25, with projects starting in early 2024.
