The fund presents a fantastic chance for charitable organisations and others to bid for financial support to scale digital inclusion activities or explore new interventions.
We're keen to spread the word about this fund throughout our Community and Voluntary Sector, ensuring that Nottingham and Nottinghamshire can fully benefit from this opportunity. High-level information has been included below. However, please take a look at the 'Find a grant' page for further details.
If you would like any support with submitting a bid, don't hesitate to contact the Digital Inclusion Workstream at sfh-tr.nottsdigitalinclusion@nhs.net. Additionally, we would love to hear if you decide to submit a bid and the details, so we can update the Integrated Care Systems Digital Inclusion Board.
