Good Things Foundation has launched a Response and Resilience Fund to support their network of community centres, many of whom are at risk of closure due to funding issues caused by the current coronavirus crisis.
With 11.9 million people in the UK lacking the essential digital skills they need, and many of us relying on getting online more than ever before, the issues of digital exclusion have never been more relevant.
The £300,000 fund will offer £3,000 per community partner in the form of a one-off grant to be used for any purpose that ensures organisations can continue supporting their communities to engage with digital. The unrestricted funding, the first of its kind funding from Good Things Foundation, will provide a cash injection to the centres who need it the most.
The grant will allow organisations to put the funding to best use to enable their delivery to continue and to ensure they are in a position to reopen their physical doors once the current challenges subside - although many are continuing to deliver their services on a virtual basis where possible.
Many of the hyperlocal community partners are facing very challenging times with the spread of coronavirus impacting not only the work they do but also the people they support.
