UnLtd Launches 4iP Awards

03/08/2009

UnLtd, the charity for social entrepreneurs has announced that it has teamed up with Channel 4 to launch of a new funding scheme (4iP) to help individuals turn their digital media projects into a reality. Grants of up to £5,000 are available to help individuals develop early stage digital media ideas and prototypes and to turn these prototypes into social businesses. This can include supporting great ideas for websites, games and mobile services which help people improve their lives. There are two themes that 4iP is looking to support.

These are:
• using the web and mobile to keep an eye on how government, organisations and elected representatives use their power;
• and exploring how digital tools, games, applications and services can help people change their lives for the better whether that’s their health, wellbeing, finances, work/life balance or dealing with unemployment.
The awards are available to individuals over the age of 16; as well as informal groups. To discuss your ideas and to obtain an application form please contact 0845 850 1122 or email 4ip@unltd.org.uk
