Social housing digital champions sought by SCVO

People living in social housing are 20% less likely to have the digital skills they need than people who rent privately.

SCVO is kicking off a new project, with opportunities for housing organisations across Scotland to help change this statistic by becoming part of a social housing digital champion network.

Social housing digital champions sought by SCVO

One of the most effective ways of helping people to improve their digital skills is through regular support from someone trusted – a digital champion.

The project will offer comprehensive training and support, fully funded for up to 30 housing organisations.  

This will include  

  • work to identify a digital motivator with the organisation,  
  • a two day residential bootcamp to inspire and support the motivator 
  • short and informal surgeries with digital champions from across the staff team 
  • support to record and monitor digital inclusion activity 
  • access to credit rated qualifications for involved staff to aid career progress 

If you are interested in finding out more and registering an interest please get in touch with @digiscot, email digital@scvo.org.uk, or give Beth a ring on 07581 623 028.
