Thanks to our partnership with @BallLeeds and @100DigitalLeeds, we can fund brilliant organisations like @leedshighrise through the Leeds Digital Inclusion Fund 👇
The Highrise Project used their £10,000 grant from the first round of the Leeds Digital Inclusion Fund to deliver digital art workshops for people who face barriers to digital inclusion. Their sessions taught people how to use different creative software and tools, enabling them to develop confidence and learn transferrable skills that can be applied to other digital activities. They were also successful in securing funding in the second round to expand their work, and double the number of courses available.

Replying to @MeanwoodFarm
@MeanwoodFarm used their £10,000 grant from the Leeds Digital Inclusion Fund to support their Helping Out on the Farm project – a longstanding group for adults with learning disabilities.
White text on a grey background says “A lot of the group are more confident using iPads and connecting to the internet and some are more able to fully use their mobile phones. This has meant a number of the group are interacting with each other digitally, which is enhancing their friendships.” Meanwood Valley Urban Farm

Wow! The final figure is in 🥁... £100K raised for local Leeds charities ❤️ It's amazing to think that in only our second year we are raising this much money to support @LeedsCommFound - helping bridge the city's digital divide. Thank you to everyone who supported the event!
