New Lottery funding for Northern Irish arts programme will help "challenge perceptions of what it means to be an older person".
The Arts Council of Northern Ireland has announced £110,000 for 12 organisations to deliver a series of community-based arts projects tackling lonliness, promote positive mental health, and increase older people's engagement with the arts.
First established in 2010, the Arts and Older People programme is now supported by the Public Health Agency and Baring Foundation.
The 12 new projects will bring the total supported by the programme to 108.
