Digital Outreach is offering grants to help organisations and groups to raise awareness of the switchover and the Help Scheme by running events or other activities with:

· older people

· people with sensory, mobility or dexterity impairments

· people with learning difficulties

· people who have experienced mental health conditions

· people whose first language is not English

· people who may be socially isolated

This is a rolling programme but events need to take place before the second switchover date which is 21 September.
