Community Digital Skills Pathway

Good Things Foundation is delighted to be working in the North of Tyne, West Midlands and Greater Manchester delivering three Digital Skills Pathway Projects, funded by the UK Government through the UK Community Renewal Fund.

  • Breaking Digital Barriers - Greater Manchester
  • Breaking Barriers Through Digital Skills - North of Tyne
  • Digital Future - West Midlands

We have recruited around 30 organisations per area to develop and test a scalable digital skills and support pathway working across the community sector and the FE/Adult Education sector.
