Digital Communities Wales – Hardware Provision

Descriptions

This work is being carried out as part of the Centre’s Digital Communities Wales programme. Digital Communities Wales: Digital Confidence, Health and Well-being, is a £5 million Welsh Government programme helping people to learn new skills, get online and use digital technology. The programme helps people gain the maximum benefit from life-changing opportunities provided by the internet and digital technology, such as gaining and retaining employment, accessing health services and improving their well-being.The 3 year programme (with the potential for 3 more years) began on 1 July 2019. It provides digital inclusion training and support to organisations working with older people; people with a limiting long-standing illness, disability or infirmity; unemployed people or vulnerable people; so they can help those they support to improve their digital skills and confidence.A significant element of the Digital Communities Wales programme involves enabling people to try different types of technology, the kit purchased as part of this exercise will primarily be used for this purpose.
