One of the key aims is for people to get out, make friends and see others.

Last year awards ranged between £170 and £5,000 and ranged from awards for lunch club equipment to venue costs for support groups.

Peter Catchpole, Cabinet Member for Health and Adult Services’, said: “I would urge people to apply for funding to set up community activities.

“Last year there were some very good schemes that helped contribute to the aims of our prevention and well-being agenda and I would like to see similar projects this time around.”
