The Erdington Neighbourhood Network Scheme (NNS) aims to support older people living in the constituency to lead more independent and connected lives.

Erdington NNS is a constituency-based network of community, voluntary and social enterprise organisations who enable engagement with those groups and individuals who can provide support and activities that older adults can benefit from.

The goal of ENNS is to provide access to activities and support services which help reduce isolation, promote positive health and wellbeing and encourage people to actively participate in their community.

Individuals and groups are now being invited to apply for funding to establish activities and support services which benefit the health and wellbeing of older people living in Erdington.

Under the scheme’s Small Grants Programme people can apply for between £250 and £10,000, depending on the scope of their ‘initiative.’
