NESTA are looking for people in their 50s and 60s who are facing retirement or redundancy, who have the ideas, skills and the determination to create new types of social enterprises aimed at making life better for people older than them, as well as for themselves.

The programme in Scotland aims to uncover, mentor and seed-fund up to 20 'socially motivated' start-ups/community ventures that will tackle the issue of social isolation in the elderly by working directly with individuals in the community. These ventures will be created by small teams of individuals aimed at making ageing a more fulfilling, healthy and socially inclusive experience.
