Help Flourishing Lives continue to flourish!
Flourishing Lives supports the older people’s arts and wellbeing sector to share knowledge, develop practice and create opportunities for connection and collaboration. Through our forums, CPD-accredited professional development and collective learning, we help organisations and practitioners make a positive difference to the lives of older people.
We’re incredibly proud of the community we’ve built together and the difference our work makes. Our sessions are highly valued by participants, with an average feedback rating of 4.6/5, and we are committed to keeping our programme accessible and free to everyone who takes part.
Now we’d like to invite our community to help us sustain this work for the future.
Like many organisations working across the voluntary and community sector, we are navigating an increasingly challenging funding environment. While we have secured significant funding from trusts and foundations, we are looking to build a broader base of support to help sustain Flourishing Lives and protect the accessibility of our programme.
Our community fundraising target for 2027 is £20,000.
Your contribution, whether as an individual or on behalf of your organisation, will help us continue delivering our Intergenerational Forums, Anti-Racist Action roundtables, LGBTQ+ workshops, Older Men’s Forums, professional development and opportunities for shared learning and collaboration.
We want to ensure that these opportunities remain free, open and accessible to all. We believe that everyone working to improve the lives of older people should have the opportunity to benefit from the knowledge, relationships and collective expertise of our network.
Every contribution will make a difference. Whether you can give £5, £10, £100 or make a larger organisational contribution, your support will help us move towards our £20,000 target.
Across our network, we support over 800 coalition partner organisations and practitioners and bring together providers that share a commitment to improving the lives of older people. If those who have benefited from our work each made a contribution, together we could make a significant contribution towards securing its future.
We’ll keep our community updated on our progress and celebrate together when we reach our target.
We’re proud of what we’ve built together. With your support, we can continue creating the spaces, relationships and opportunities that enable older people, and the organisations that support them, to flourish.
If you or your organisation have benefited from Flourishing Lives, please consider making a donation today.
Thank you for being part of our community
