£1,300 digital skills grants: three areas have until 9 October to apply
Charities, community interest companies and other not-for-profit organisations in Neath Port Talbot, Pembrokeshire and Swansea have until noon on Friday 9 October to apply for digital inclusion funding.

What can the grant support?
Projects can offer digital skills training, help people who struggle to access technology, or improve an existing community programme. Applicants must explain the proposed activity, its likely impact, how it will be delivered, value for money and the expected results. The awards are for organisations delivering projects, rather than personal payments to residents.
Where to apply
The application form is linked from Neath Port Talbot Council’s announcement below. It asks organisations to explain how their proposal will deliver, improve or support digital inclusion locally. ITS Technology Group is providing the funding through social-value commitments attached to the Swansea Bay City Deal Digital Infrastructure Programme. Carmarthenshire is outside this round because it has already benefited from other ITS social-value initiatives, according to the council.
Background and supporting figures
Where this sits
One award is reserved for each of the three named council areas, rather than three awards drawn from a single unrestricted regional pot.
The funding supports not-for-profit organisations and community projects rather than direct payments to individual residents.
