- Look out for the funding opportunity being live toward the end of September, with a deadline of Thursday 10 November.

- There will be an online application process for the majority of the awards.
- Final decisions will be made by a team from our Leadership Group.
- A full list of Frequently Asked Questions, based on all our learning, will be available to help guide applicants.
- We expect all successful applicants to be supporting people to gain Basic Digital Skills, and to regulalry assess and report progress.
- One-to-one support is beneficial – this could be peer-to-peer learning or volunteer support.
- Short bursts of frequent learning are more successful than a small number of longer sessions.
- Linking a type of device to a specific activity, and having an individual 'hook', is important.
- Where a small group of people is being supported to get online, it's helpful if that they are all working with the same type of device.
