Free Training

Training sessions are available designed for those who will raise awareness and understanding of switchover and the Help Scheme in your organisation who then can cascade the information to your staff and volunteers.  Please contact me if you would like  to receive this training.

Grants, Materials and Other Assistance

Other support available through us includes:

  • Small grants for new local switchover related activities or initiatives
  • Speakers for presentations and meetings
  • Good practice sharing and advice on local activities or initiatives
  • Switchover and Help Scheme leaflets and materials

Grant Application Forms:


Information packs from Digital UK have been sent to all  ACVO  Member Groups. The pack has been designed to help organisations share information about switchover with staff, volunteers and clients. The pack contains films on a DVD explaining how to manage switchover useful leaflets, and promotional posters. More copies will be available to non-members on request.

We believe that it is vital that people receive the right information and advice to make the switch to digital - and that those who most need it can look to a local organisation that they know and trust to provide it. There has been a very positive response to date, but there is a lot more work to do! Please help us to reach out to people in the community who need our assistance. 

 

For more information, materials or to arrange training, please contact Louise Farmer at ACVO on (01224) 686059.
