The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) has launched the Media Literacy Taskforce Fund to award grant funding to projects piloting new methods of delivering media literacy 
interventions to ‘hard to reach’ citizens.
They are interested in piloting projects that will work through local communities to engage ‘hard to reach’ citizens in ways that are tailored to their needs and relevant to their daily lives. DCMS are encouraging proposals that will demonstrate partnership across organisations with expertise in how to engage with’ hard to reach’ citizens.
Organisation eligibility
- Your organisation must be registered to operate in the UK
- You must have experience of delivering media literacy interventions or equivalent subject matter expertise
- Your project must target a local area in England (e.g. a town or county)
DCMS are encouraging proposals that will demonstrate partnership across organisations with expertise of how to engage specific ‘hard to reach’ citizens — for example, working with local governments, local charities or youth groups. As well as applications from individual organisations, DCMS will also be accepting applications from consortia who can demonstrate the requirements set out in the ‘project criteria’ section, across numerous organisations. Consortia can include public bodies outside of central government.
