*1,400 Digital Champions to bring the benefits of being online to thousands*
A new initiative to create hundreds of ‘digital champions’ who will help
more than 9,500 people develop basic digital skills is being launched
following £2 million investment of funding from the Big Lottery Fund.
The test-and-learn initiative aims to recruit more than 1,400 digital
champions within disability, youth and support organisations who will
engage with people who are not online and provide them with personal
long-term support.
*Digital Unite*, a leading provider of digital skills learning, will lead a
consortium comprising *Age UK, Citizens Online *and the* Scottish Council
for Voluntary Organisations (SCVO*). These diverse organisations will work
closely together to provide bespoke training, share and improve practices
and develop consistent ways of evaluating success.
The *One Digital* consortium will benefit people with disabilities and
accessibility needs, young adults seeking work, over 65s, and charities and
the people they support, so they are able to access essential online
services, search and apply for jobs and stay in touch with friends and
family.
*Citizens Online* receives *£466,981* and will work in four local authority
areas – Brighton, Plymouth, Gwynedd and Highlands Council to train, recruit
and deploy digital champions to improve the online skills of 4,000 people.
Citizens Online will deliver a project that aims to support the uptake of
digital skills and services in each area by creating a sustainable and
supportive partnership network.* Find out more here

by Digital Champions were well received by learners, with 98% and 81%
respectively rating their training as good or excellent. The 500 residents
trained last year showed increased confidence in completing a range of
online skills, in particular; accessing information, emailing and online
