Digital funding chance

- LYNN DUKE

Perth and Kinross Council is inviting community groups to bid for funding to improve digital participat­ion and inclusion in their local community.

The Digital Inclusion Fund is for any project which provides access to digital technology and skills developmen­t or involves the installati­on of public wifi in community-owned or managed facilities.

There are no specific criteria for the fund, other than any facility the community groups are applying for must be owned or managed by a committee of community members; the community group must be able to maintain the running costs of the project into the longer term and any devices or other technologi­es remain the property of the applicant group.

Informatio­n about the fund can be found on the website at www.pkc.gov.uk/ pkgrantsdi­rect

The council’s digital participat­ion working group will access the applicatio­ns, and groups will be notified if they have been successful.
