Media | DIGITAL INCLUSION
We incorporate rapid skills-based training and learning in use of video conferencing digital communication to upskill the wider community.
Using new technology to deliver community based solutions!
We support people to maintain contact with friends, family, and group members. Throughout the year, we hosted different types of online engagement and support – from Facebook Livestreams, Group Meetings, recorded presentations and more.
We were delighted to win access to Phase 1 and Phase 2 of SCVO’s ‘Connecting Scotland’ Project, for people who were isolating, physically vulnerable or elderly, families with children, and young care leavers.
With additional funding from the Big Lottery Community Fund, we established a loan library for digital devices and provided devices, Wi-Fi and material for Community Hub Setups with a local Scout Troop and Parklea Branching Out. These were in high demand and greatly supported us in being able to remain in touch with people during lockdown.
