Commmunity IT Academy

CITA have won a tender from VONNE to deliver Digital Mentoring to 12 “Hard to Reach” (H2R) infrastructure groups in the North East under the Improving Reach project.

The project runs for 6 months from 1st November and aims to help to improve IT within H2R infrastructure groups so that they can help their client groups in turn.

A Digital Mentor would be available to work with your organisation on a 1-1 basis with a staff member or volunteer who you choose to nominate. They can spend up to 6 days with you, spread over a 6 month period. They can help you develop an ICT Strategy, a full staff and volunteer training needs analysis, carry out an asset inventory of your office equipment for you and put together an annual ICT budget. They will be available to follow up on progress periodically with you over the 6 month period.

This help is funded through a Capacitybuilders Improving Reach project which is aiming its support specifically at infrastructure organisations who work with the following groups;

• black and minority ethnic groups,
• refugee and migrant groups,
• faith groups and
• isolated rural groups.

The full background on this project is available on the Improving Reach page of our website.
