Grant News
Grants of up to £250,000 are available to UK organisations and local authorities for projects piloting new methods of delivering media literacy projects interventions to ‘hard to reach’ people across England.
The aim is to educate and empower internet users across the UK to manage their online safety.
The funding is made available by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport through the Media Literacy Taskforce Fund which will support projects working through local communities that help disengaged people, such as those who are digitally excluded or from lower socio-economic backgrounds, to improve their critical thinking of what they see in the media through ways that are tailored to their needs and relevant to their daily lives.
To be eligible to apply, the applicant organisation must:
- be registered to operate in the UK
- have experience of delivering media literacy interventions or equivalent subject matter expertise
- target a local area in England (e.g. a town or county)
Partnership and consortia applications are encouraged.
The deadline for applications is 9am on the 30th August 2022.
