"Next year's Festival will provide great opportunities for our seniors to re-connect through activities in their local communities across the state."
The 2022 Seniors Festival will be held from Friday, March 25 until Sunday, April 3 and includes a variety of cultural, creative, sporting and recreational programs.
"There are also programs to support older people to plan for retiring, housing choices and getting around," Mrs Ward said.
"These grants recognise and encourage the contributions of older people in the community."
Mrs Ward said the grants align with the NSW Government's commitment to our valued seniors, under the Ageing Well in NSW: Seniors Strategy 2021-2031.
