The Silver Dreams Fund is the first of the Big Lottery Fund’s dedicated investments in older people in England, and is being delivered in association with the Daily Mail. What a strange combination - the lottery people and the Daily Mail.
The fund wants to: "pioneer ways of working with older people that will allow them to play a much greater role in their communities. They should be able to influence the local services and facilities that will help them prepare for and manage major life-changes."
My initial reaction when reading this was to think it will be a big waste of time and cash. Maybe not? Time will tell. I will revisit it in a year's time and see what has been delivered. Dick Stroud
