A HILLINGDON care provider has launched its first Community Grant scheme offering money to any group borough working with older people or those living with a disability.
Alvin Osei-Tutu, managing director of Bluebird Care, said: “So many neighbourhoods thrive because of volunteers who work tirelessly to run community groups, host events and provide services that benefit others.
“Much of this work involves supporting older people who, without regular coffee mornings, day trips or lunch clubs, would be left isolated at home.”

The care provider is offering £250 to a community group or initiative that works with older people in Hillingdon.
The group that can best demonstrate a need for additional support will be allocated the funds.
Examples of the type of project for consideration could include gardening, leisure, recreational or musical activities.
