This could be an extension of your community facility's existing digital provision or support other infrastructure installations if your facility is not currently connected.
Grants of up to £5000 are available for constituted community or voluntary groups responsible for managing a local community facility in which they plan to make the improvements. The group must own or have a long-term lease in place for the facility and be able to meet the ongoing revenue costs of the improved digital services. The following provides examples of the type of costs that can be supported through the challenge fund:
- installation of fibre connectivity
- wireless access points and associated technology
- internal cabling and infrastructure to accommodate provision
- point-to-point wireless connectivity solutions
Applications for the next round will be opening shortly. Please check back for updates on the launch date soon.
