Seniors in Campbelltown can participate in Generations in Motion: Creative Connections Program thanks to the $840,000 Connecting Seniors Grant Program 2025 which aims to reduce social isolation among older people.

Rainbow Crossing Inc in Campbelltown was successful as a grant recipient to help empower seniors to engage with the community and overcome loneliness.

The "Generations in Motion" program connects seniors and youth through regular free small-group activities, including art, music, storytelling, and digital skills workshops. It fosters meaningful intergenerational relationships, reduces isolation, and promotes well-being, empowering participants to build lasting connections and engage with their community throughout the year.

Rainbow Crossing Inc is one of 28 organisations funded in this year’s Connecting Seniors Grant Program which supports projects across NSW in categories including Aboriginal, Multicultural, Creation, Enhancement or Expansion, and Local Council.

The Connecting Seniors Grant Program builds on previous grant rounds, which have been proven to reduce social isolation for thousands of seniors in NSW.

Since its launch in 2020, the grant program has funded more than 120 projects and engaged over 30,000 seniors across 82 Local Government Areas in NSW.

This program supports the Ageing Well in NSW: Seniors Strategy 2021-2031, demonstrating the Government’s commitment to creating a more inclusive community and addressing isolation and loneliness. The addition of both Aboriginal and Multicultural categories in 2025 aligns with the NSW Government’s Closing the Gap commitments and the Multicultural NSW Strategic Plan 2021-2025.
