The Liverpool City Region Combined Authority with the VS6 Partnership has launched the LCR Cares Digital Inclusion Fund to support community and voluntary organisations who are able to provide digital support and skills development for local residents who face additional social and economic barriers. The aim of the fund is to provide grants that either support practical digital skills engagement or capacity building for staff/volunteers to support provision (or a combination of both).
This fund aims to support specific disadvantaged beneficiary groups and to be eligible you must be working with one of the following:
- Young Care Leavers
- Asylum seekers/refugees
- Victims of domestic abuse.
Some examples (not exhaustive) of what the fund can consider:
- Community venues that offer access to digital skills projects breaking down important issues such as using online financial and housing services
- Projects that help to improve awareness of cyber crime
- Training/accreditation for staff or volunteers to help them deliver digital inclusion courses.
Who can apply?
Registered charities and constituted voluntary, community and faith organisations who are permanently based within the Liverpool City Region and have been operating for at least 12 months.
How much is available?
Grants of up to £6000. Please note that the total budget for this fund is £140,000 and they will be awarding grants in all six boroughs of the Liverpool City Region.
