Our Fundraising Series continues! - KCSC E-bulletin

KCSC's weekly e-bulletin

A big thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to our assembly on Digital Inclusion last week! It was hugely insightful to learn from local organisations about the experiences of residents and service users engaging with the digital world. We also got a first hand look at new nationwide initiatives to address exclusion, and how they have already been used in local areas.

We have collected some of these incredibly useful resources that were mentioned at the event and linked to them below;

- K&C Digital Inclusion handbook - details of the wide range of digital inclusion support services available in the borough.

- Learn My Way - a pioneering new free programme helping people learn how to use the internet and develop other digital skills from scratch.

- No One Left Behind - a newsletter with updates on the latest local developments on digital inclusion resources. Sign up here.

- Charity Digital Skills report: take part in this nationwide survey for charity, non-profit and social sector organisations, and see results from previous years.
