Community Commissioning Fund
Dorset POPP has a pot of money to fund locally identified opportunities, activities and services and has developed an application and appraisal process to enable groups of older people to bid in for seed funding to develop local initiatives relating to the promotion of health, well being and independence.

So far, funded projects have included:
Lunch clubs
Art and craft classes
Social clubs
Toe nail cutting services
