Nominet Trust, the charity that which believes in the power of digital technology
to improve lives, has opened the next round of funding for technology projects that
aim to address persistent social challenges.

 

It did so as it announced the 11 projects that are sharing over £1 million in funding
from its most recent round. As well as funding, each project will benefit from a
tailored package of business planning and communications support.

New recipients include:

 * **HumanITy**, which is researching whether it is possible to pass on the discounts
   of buying in bulk to low-income families by using an online platform to aggregate
   demand for everyday products and services
 * **Carers UK for Jointly**, a web-enabled tool designed to support busy people
   who juggle working and caring for a loved one.
 * **DigitalMe Limited for Badge the UK**, which aims to create new employment for
   young people thought Mozilla Open Badges, which offer an opportunity to recognise
   in-demand workplace skills.

Annika Small, Nominet Trust CEO, commented: “The organisations supported in this
funding round are using digital technology to support new forms of employment and
agency for young people, new approaches to healthcare and new ways of lowering the
cost of living for the squeezed middle. These ventures are further proof that digital
technology is a vital tool in addressing persistent social problems.”

 

The trust is particularly keen to receive applications from projects that demonstrate
how technology can support older people in their communities.

 

The deadline for the [next funding round from Nominet Trust](http://www.nominettrust.org/)
