Applications for grants meant for the promotion of physical and cultural activities for the elderly funded by the estates inherited by the government can be submitted as of Monday 13 January 2025. We will organise the first information session related to the grant applications on Wednesday 11 December 2024 at 13–16 at the premises of the Culture and Leisure Division in Vallila at Konepajankuja 3 B. The event will be held in the Aula space, located on the street level right next to the entrance. The event is intended for everyone interested in organising project activities. At the event, we will go through the targeting, criteria and application of the grant. In addition, we will present findings from the impact analysis conducted for the project period that ended in spring 2024.
The grant is targeted at activities that support the well-being and functional capacity of the elderly in Helsinki and increase their opportunities to participate in physical and cultural activities.
