The company’s activities will provide a digital equipment library and skills hub to benefit digitally excluded people and communities in Plymouth, UK . We will focus our support on local social entrepreneurs, school/home school children, those seeking work or looking to upskill, refugees and asylum seekers, health care patients and older adults. The four values underpin the CIC: Access: We will create access to digital technology that is free and open to all. Empower: We will empower local people to use technology for social impact Creative: We will provide resources to enable people to play, to create, to learn, to mentor, to invent. Resilient: We aim to encourage local and sustainable thinking, providing a stimulus for local entrepreneurship. Activities in the period: We received funding from the Plymouth City Council Changing Futures programme to deliver digital inclusion sessions with people experiencing multiple disadvantage. We delivered weekly sessions with asylum seekers and refugees helping them with digital skills and access. We partnered with Devon and Cornwall Refugee Service and the sessions were held at their premises. We reached approximately 100 people. We also delivered a higher level digital skills session in conjunction with On course South west education provider to 8 people out of work or with wellbeing needs. These people undertook an 8 week course in the Greenhouse and learnt skills such as 3D CAD and 3D printing. As a result a number of the participants have gone on to further study or to employment.
The stakeholders have been: Devon and Cornwall Refugee service. We have delivered digital skills sessions with their clients. Asylum seekers and refugees are some of the most digital excluded groups in UK. Nudge Community Builders – the Greenhouse Hub is located within the Nudge Community Builder building and we have worked with a number of the social enterprises that are also located in the building through access to digital equipment. Digital excluded people in Plymouth Borrow Don’t Buy. Borrow don’t buy is Plymouth’s library of things and they run a service called GEO (get everyone online) which involves refurbishing laptops and giving them to those in need. We have applied and arranged for a number of laptops (10) to be received by the asylum seeker and refugee participants.
