Deloitte Digital Connect, a 5 Million Futures initiative, was developed in response to the challenges faced by the UK voluntary sector due to COVID-19. In partnership with CAST, the programme 
connects charities and social enterprises with digital expertise and advice.
This 6-month training and support programme helps charities and social enterprises make progress on an existing organisational digital project or challenge by putting their beneficiaries at the heart of the solution.
Participants will receive support from Deloitte experts and their own social sector peers, to get a better understanding of the challenges faced by their beneficiaries and learn how to create simple but effective solutions to address them.
