Forever Active Kent

Forever Active Kent is a new three-year community microgrants programme to support and encourage older adults to participate in physical activities.

Forever Active Grants

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.
