2022 – Discover Digital
In 2022 we took part in a new local initiative called Discover Digital. This project aimed to boost “Digital Inclusion” in Stoke-on-Trent by helping people make the best use of the internet.
Discover Digital was funded by the UK Government Community Renewal Fund distributed through Stoke-on-Trent City Council. The project was led by Staffordshire University and delivered in partnership with: Wavemaker, Stoke-North Big Local, VAST, WEA, Caudwell Children, Community Foundation for Staffordshire, Stoke-on-Trent College, YMCA, Dove Service, Beth Johnston Foundation and Keele University.
The Beth Johnson Foundation worked with OLGBT to support learning digital skills through engagements events and workshops. We also obtained a Discover Digital grant from the Community Foundation which enabled us to redesign and update our website.
