The Second Half Fund supported the growth of 13 innovations that mobilised the time and talents of people in the second half of their lives to help others, alongside public services.

The fund was a partnership between Nesta and the Office for Civil Society at DCMS, and was run alongside other grant programmes in our Government Innovation - People Power portfolio.
