The LSC has made capital funding available during 2009/10 for both new and existing UK online centres. The proposal focuses only on capital equipment needed, to support delivery of the entitlement to Digital Life Skills in UK online centres; supporting the most vulnerable people in society.
The funding will be targeted to support activity in two key areas namely:
- Where there is a clear need and digital exclusion in the most deprived areas of the country, with no existing UK online centres coverage.
- Where there is a need to update an existing centre (loss of function and/or access due to frequent technical failure) or to kit out a new centre in an area where there is some digital exclusion/limited access, in the most deprived areas of the country.
Grants of between £2,500 and £15,000 will be available, the amount of money awarded will be decided upon with reference to the submitted application.
All monies awarded to successful bids have to be spent before 31 March 2010.
Centres are required to submit the completed application by email to ukonlinecentres@ufi.com by 16:00 on the 20 November 2009.
