The Big Lottery Fund and the Daily Mail are looking for older people to be on the panel to help it make decisions about its new fund for improving the lives of older people.
The new Silver Dreams Fund will give lottery grants of between £50,000-£200,000 to projects which help vulnerable older people deal more effectively with life-changing events.
Applicants must be aged 50 or over, with personal experience of the issues and concerns facing older people. They also
must be available for meetings in March 2012. Reasonable travel and accommodation expenses will be paid. For an application form, email: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
