Deloitte has collaborated with CAST to deliver the Deloitte Digital Connect programme, which aims to help charities scale their impact by supporting charity digital leaders to build capacity and capability within their organisation.
In light of the pandemic, and increase in external challenges such as the cost-of-living crisis, digital solutions are becoming a stronger priority for charities.
The programme has therefore been developed in direct response to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the third sector, and utilises Deloitte's expertise and skills to develop a peer community to support UK charities. Deloitte aspires to connect a new cohort of charities with expertise, advice, and a network to support their digital development.
This is Deloitte's second edition of the programme, which first ran successfully with a pilot of 35 charities in January 2022. Applications are now open for the November 2022 series, which will run until April 2023.
The pilot scheme included delivering and sharing over 350 digital resources, as well as mentoring, masterclasses, workshops, support sessions, group coaching calls and monthly newsletters.
Up to 25 places are available for the 2022/2023 programme. Applications are open to UK charities and social enterprises of all sizes and incomes, until October 17th at 12pm. Organisations' primary purpose, or the purpose of the programmes they deliver, must focus on either education, employment and / or climate action, to be eligible.
For more information on eligibility criteria, go to the Deloitte webpage here.
Small grants of up to £5k are available to support the participation of charities with incomes of under £1million.
The first stage of the three stage programme involves charities receiving support to identify specific needs and develop a project roadmap.
Deloitte are hosting a Q&A zoom session on Wednesday 12th October, which anyone interested in applying for the programme can join. Register here. Alternatively, you can email your queries to deloittedigitalconnect@deloitte.co.uk.
