A FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND multi-million-pound government fund is to give thousands of consumers free digital training to help them find cheaper deals online.

- JOSIE CLARK

Some 80 schemes will have a share of the £11.7m Digital Inclusion Innovation Fund to help the most vulnerable, from disadvantaged young people and the homeless to the elderly, get online with confidence as part of the “push to close the digital divide”.

Portions of the fund have been allocated to the devolved governments in Scotland (£764,020), Wales (£400,368) and Northern Ireland (£267,249).

Free support will help people to be able to book a doctor's appointment on the NHS app, shop around for better deals on things such as home insurance and food, or stay in touch with loved ones.
