Cothrom Ltd - Towards our digital Future (360G-CR-2027947)

Based on the remote island of South Uist in the Outer Hebrides, and providing a service across the 9 islands of Uist and Barra, Cothrom is a community anchor organisation that delivers community-based learning and training ranging from adult literacy and parenting classes to accredited vocational qualifications that are key to the local economy. They also provide the only full-time nursery care on the islands - a vital service for working parents. The grant will fund a worker to develop and upskill the organisation in digital skills that it can take advantage of a new digital e-learning network being introduced in the Outer Hebrides. This will enable hundreds more people in remote areas to access adult learning and gain vital qualifications.
