The Heritage Fund has announced the applications for its Digital Skills for Heritage Tranche 8 to create and support new digital volunteering opportunities.
Their Digital Skills for Heritage initiative is designed to raise digital skills and confidence across the whole UK heritage sector. Since February 2020 they have made funding, resources and guidance available to help heritage organisations use digital to move into a more resilient and creative future.
The results from their Digital Attitudes and Skills for Heritage (DASH) survey, published in October 2020, identified an opportunity for the heritage sector to create new types of volunteering opportunities that make use of digital skills.
