Lottery puts London’s older people back on the market

An innovative project to help older people rejoin the workforce is among seven projects across the capital today sharing in close to £2.1 million from Big Lottery Fund’s Reaching Communities programme. Celebrating the contribution that age and experience can bring to potential employers, Age Concern London has secured £482,033 of good cause funding this month to help over 50s back into employment through their brand new Over 50s Self Advocacy Employment Programme.
