The Local Digital Fund | Local Digital Through the Local Digital Fund, we have helped councils implement the Local Digital Declaration by supporting collaborative council-led projects that address widespread local challenges. In the short term, there are no plans for further funding through the current Local Digital Fund model.
Our immediate focus is supporting our funded projects to deliver their outputs and share these across the sector to maximise their impact. On this page you can learn more about what the Fund has achieved and read about previously funded projects. What the Local Digital Fund has achieved Since the Local Digital Fund was introduced in July 2018, we have provided over £16 million of funding and support to 61 council-led projects.
The projects we have funded have addressed common challenges within a broad range of service areas, such as housing, social care and waste management. Many projects have produced outputs that are available for other councils to learn from and reuse, including back office systems , data standards, and publishing platforms .
Through the Local Digital Declaration and the Local Digital Fund, we’ve championed a collaborative approach to improving local public services. We’ve provided support and expert advice across project management, product ownership, agile delivery, user research and service design. We’ve also provided training to over 3000 council staff to develop their digital and cyber skills.
Local Digital Fund projects Each project we have funded has its own webpage where you can view their journey and outputs. Following an intensive period of review, and informed by insights from our conversations with councils, we are adapting our approach to take on a more strategic role as a ‘steward’.
