>>     The Government has launched a £5.5 million programme to bring older
>>     and younger generations in England together in their communities
>>     through volunteering.
>>
>>     The programme, Generations Together, will fund 12 projects across the
>>     country where young and older people can engage with each other on
>>     equal terms, break down barriers and challenge negative stereotypes.
>>
>>     The programme is seeking bids from all English local authorities.
>>     Importantly these bids must involve third sector organisations and the
>>     bidding document makes clear that at least 50% of the funding must be
>>     deployed within the third sector. Third sector organisations should
>>     contact their local authority to ascertain the potential for bidding,
>>     but should be aware that their local authority may not be considering
>>     bidding for the fund.
>>
>>     The programme will run during 2009/10 and 2010/11.  The closing date
>>     for applications is 10 June 2009.
