Description
The Pargiter Trust Fund, managed by Suffolk Community Foundation, provides small grants to charities, voluntary organisations, and community groups delivering essential services or advice to older people (aged 65+) in Suffolk. The fund aims to improve health and wellbeing, reduce social isolation, enhance access to facilities and information, and support carers. Funding is available for both new and existing services, and may cover capital equipment or ongoing operational costs. The fund prioritises projects addressing the needs of older people in areas of greatest deprivation or among groups with protected characteristics, as well as those adapting to cost-of-living pressures.
