Digital Futures Manchester
DFM provides young people from lower-income communities across Manchester with access to technology, digital skills training and educational support. This project aims to distribute technology to students and families who lack reliable access to devices for learning. These devices will enable participants to complete schoolwork, access online learning resources, develop digital skills and engage in training programmes designed to improve educational attainment and future employment prospects. By reducing digital exclusion, the project will help create more equitable opportunities for young people and support long-term social mobility within underserved communities.
