by
Big Issue Invest has granted £6000 grant and £34,000 investment loan to Sovereign House GH for our Computer Learning Programme. This investment will boost our growth and cash flow. It will empower individuals of all ages to understand computer programs, gain practical experience, and enhance their life prospects. Our mini workshops also develop life skills, resilience, and problem-solving abilities, fostering a ‘can-do’ attitude and success.
Fund aims
Sovereign House GH aims to foster confidence, skills, and motivation, while ensuring affordability, accessibility, and connectivity. We strive to empower communities and create sustainable outcomes. We provide digital skills training in Salford and Bury, areas ranked among the most deprived in England. Our expansion into Bury helps bridge the digital divide faced by many families.
Our hands-on approach empowers individuals, preparing them for a world increasingly reliant on IT and digital skills. We focus on enhancing these skills, fostering critical thinking, problem-solving, and a ‘can-do’ attitude among children, young people, and adults. This boosts their confidence and potential, preparing them for future challenges. The importance of digital skills is paramount, as their absence can lead to negative impacts on health, social connections, and access to jobs and education.
