Nesta's New Prize Supports the Vulnerable to Access Post-COVID Jobs and Finance
23/09/2020
UK organisations are invited to apply for support to accelerate innovations that can help vulnerable workers, hit hardest by the coronavirus crisis, to secure jobs and financial help.
Nesta has identified what it describes as an 'urgent need' to support people at risk of losing their livelihoods and financial security in the wake of the coronavirus crisis. The Rapid Recovery Challenge has been launched to stimulate innovation in the fields of employment, skills and financial services. The programme will support tools and services that improve access to jobs and money for people across the UK, focusing on those hardest hit by the economic shock resulting from COVID-19.
