About the fund

The Digital Inclusion Fund is an opportunity for Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) organisations to amplify their campaigns to tackle digital inclusion. Lambeth Council are awarding capital grants of up to £25,000 for VCS organisations to implement local initiatives to target the digital inclusion strategic ambitions described in the Digital Strategy. This includes:

• No resident will be excluded from the social, educational, and economic opportunities that are made available through the digital world
• Our children, young people and students will be able to access the devices and networks they need to thrive and achieve
• Our older residents and residents with disabilities will have the skills, confidence and support to live independently and well
• Our Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities will have equitable access to the digital world and the skills needed for learning, play and work, helping to make Lambeth the home to the most diverse digital sector in the UK
• Our unemployed, homeless, refugee, asylum seeking and non-English speaking residents will be able access the digital world to access further training and support, and participate in our communities and economy
• Be a forward thinking council which embraces the digital world to create opportunities for everyone

The aim of this capital fund is to increase the number of Lambeth residents with digital access. This funding will be used to support the provision of devices, connectivity and assistive technology for our residents. Organisations will be able to apply for capital funding to support members of our communities experiencing the highest levels of digital exclusion.
