VOLA’s VCFSE Sector Digital Inclusion Listening Event

Event Date: 30 June 2022

Hosted by VOLA | Thursday 30 June 2022 10 am – 12 noon | Online

Do you work in the Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise (VCFSE) sector operating in the Liverpool City Region (LCR)? Do you deliver digital inclusion interventions/activities, or otherwise have an interest in digital inclusion/ exclusion, with views to share about its impact on your local community or the client groups you work with?

If so, you are invited to attend an online Digital Inclusion Listening Event being run by VOLA later this month.

You don’t have to be a specialist in delivering IT training or have an IT suite open to the community, or anything like that. If you have an interest in Digital Inclusion in your local community, with views or ideas to share, then you are welcome to go along.

They want to hear about the good work that is going on at a local level and making a positive impact on Digital Inclusion across LCR communities. They also want to hear what people think is important in the area of Digital Inclusion, where there may be gaps, what help might be needed, good ideas, etc.

Come along and share your insight, experience, thoughts and ideas.

To book your place, please go to Eventbrite.

Once you have registered, to reserve your place, you will receive an automated email to confirm your booking. In this email, if you click on the ‘View the event’ button, the Zoom link will become available 30 minutes before the meeting starts. The link will be sent to everyone that has booked a day or two before the event, in case of any glitches.

Why are they doing this?

VOLA has been commissioned by the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority (LCR CA), working in partnership with the University of Liverpool, to gather local insight and views on Digital Inclusion/ Exclusion from community and voluntary sector organisations across the city region. This is part of a wider piece of work being undertaken by the LCR CA and the University of Liverpool.

Alongside this ‘listening event’, VOLA will also be undertaking some research and mapping into current Digital Inclusion activities that are happening on the ground in local communities, so that the overall picture at a city region level can be brought up to date. This will also hopefully identify areas of good or promising practice and innovation in the community, as well as places where they may be gaps that need to be addressed.

An online survey will be circulated throughout the sector later in June, which they strongly encourage organisations that deliver Digital Inclusion activities to complete; and they may also be in touch with some of you directly to discuss your provision DI further. More details on this will follow.
