With support from Scottish Government, BT, Cellnex and Edinburgh & Lothians Health Foundation, three new digital participation funds launched on 25th February to support the work of Scotland’s Digital Participation charter. The funds are: the eighth round of the Digital Participation Charter Fund, the Edinburgh & Lothians Health Foundation Connecting Communities Fund and the Device Refurbishment Support Fund.
The three funds aim to support people to get online and learn about what new ways of working can be supported, and develop access, confidence, motivation, and skills.
