Administered by Active Kent & Medway, the Forever Active grants are available for community organisations to deliver activity programmes in Kent to help get older adults more active; prioritising those groups and communities that will benefit the most.

The microgrants will support programmes that:

Help older adults, aged 50 and older, to increase and maintain their strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination in a place and time that suits them.
Ensure older adults can access the information they need and participate in safe and enjoyable physical activities close to home.
Increase the number of people supported from underserved communities and where the need is greatest.
Reduce inactive lifestyles such as sitting for too long, and help older adults to remain independent for longer, enjoy a better quality of life, and delay and in some cases prevent the onset of disability.
Please note: The Forever Active Kent Grant funding is provided by Kent County Council so all programme delivery must take place within the Kent County Council administrative boundary.
