Lloyds TSB Foundation for Northern Ireland is to fund a two-year programme to train
older people in fundraising. It aims to help older people seek grants and other 
funding more effectively to help maintain local group activities.

First Steps to Funding will be delivered by Age NI and Community Foundation NI, 
and is targeted at age sector groups with an annual income of less than £20,000.

The programme also includes training for community workers who support age sector
groups in fundraising.
