Funding Available for Digital Inclusion

A new Welsh Government funded project has been launched aimed at supporting people leaving any hospital setting who are at risk of digital exclusion.

Digital Communities Wales have some funding available for third sector organisations located anywhere in Wales.

Organisations can apply on behalf of a specific individual at risk of digital exclusion for up to £500 for a digital device and/or connectivity.

A helpline is available which people can call if they have (or care for someone who has) recently been discharged from hospital. The helpline will link them with digital support local to them.

There's a dedicated webpage where you can find more information about the project and download the application forms, guidance and eligibility criteria:

Welsh - https://cymru.coop/prosiect-anhawster-y-gaeaf/

Please share with any individual or organisation that could benefit from this project.

For more information please contact Jenny Phillips at Digital Communities Wales.
