Explore
The Explore programme allows charities to engage in a 12-week learning journey to scope out the kinds of digital services they might provide and to explore how digital technology could transform the ways they work.
The Explore programme will help charities to scope a digital solution to improve outcomes for the people they support, and to build the skills to develop a strong, user-led approach to digital service delivery.
It offers organisations the chance to:
- Identify the user need they are trying to address
- Examine whether a digital solution is the best idea
- Identify the key implications of implementing a new solution
- Design a prototype which can be tested and made ready for further development
- Look at how it might be possible to obtain funding for further work.
The programme, run by Comic Relief and Paul Hamlyn Foundation is a new strand of their Tech for Good funding initiative. The Tech for Good programme was developed in response to the emerging need for charities to use technology to explore different approaches to delivering better services. The Explore programme will help charities to scope a digital solution to improve outcomes for the people they support, and to build the skills to develop a strong, user-led approach to digital service delivery.
