SCVO Digital Participation Charter Fund
Created: 30/11/2016
News/Events Category: Funding and FinanceThe Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations(SCVO) has reopened its Digital Participation Charter Fund.
The Fund is supported by the Scottish Government and has been set up to help people acquire basic digital skills so that they can use the internet as part of modern day-to-day life. Older people have been identified as one group who may benefit from participating in projects which aim to equip them with these skills. The information below has been taken from SCVO’s website:
The following criteria are essential and projects must meet them to be considered for funding:
- Projects aim to build basic digital skills of people who are older, on lower incomes or facing other forms of inequality;
- Priority will be given to projects which can demonstrate a track record of working with individuals who are facing issues such as poverty, social isolation and other forms of inequality. Previous experience of delivering digital skills training is not necessary;
- Priority will be given to applications who aim to embed the promotion and development of those skills in the organisations day-to-day activity;
- Awards will typically range from £500 to £10,000; applications for more than this will only be considered in exceptional circumstances;
- Successful organisations must have already joined Scotland's Digital Participation Charter when they receive their first payment; and
- To help them understand what the project has achieved and what lessons others can learn, successful projects will be required to:
- Ask the individuals they're supporting to fill out a short questionnaire to gauge their basic digital skills;
- Provide regular progress updates by posting content to your project page.
The closing date for application is Thursday 12 January 2017.
