Empowering Communities Through Digital Education
Over the moon to say we’ve been awarded a grant from The Access Foundation top deliver our Digital Skills / Employability sessions, starting January 2025!
Bridging The Digital Divide
Access Foundation support organisations who have as a key objective the mitigation of the digital divide, by making computing facilities, support and/or learning available to disadvantaged and vulnerable people, exactly what we do at DECV!
The £20,704 grant will fund DECV’s project to teach digital skills and employability – helping to bridge the digital divide and equip people with the tools they need to reach their potential. Weekly sessions will give participants the opportunity to:
- Develop digital literacy
- Employability Skills
- Access online services
- Feel included in the community
- Be empowered by technology
We can only keep going thanks to grants, so each and every one, large or small, makes a difference.
