UK data centre operator and cloud provider 4D Data Centres has announced working with Suffolk Mind to help the mental health charity firm enhance its digital support offering.
As a member of the domain registry Nominet, 4D Data Centres will utilise the site’s GiveHub programme, which it says gives members the opportunity to apply for a grant to support a charity of their choice.
4D’s COO Steve Wright said it chose the Suffolk Mind as a worthwhile cause that could benefit from a funding boost, helping the charity to create a new e-learning platform.
“I’m excited that 4D is backing such an important cause,” said Wright. “Once live, the platform will improve access to Suffolk Mind’s mental health support services nationally, so people looking for support will be able to easily access videos and content from their own homes without needing to attend face-to-face services in Suffolk.”
To fully fund the development and launch of the e-learning platform, the charity needed to raise £10,000, which Nominet has pledged through their GiveHub grant.
“Even with the pandemic easing, people are likely to continue facing barriers when accessing face-to-face support,” Wright continued. “The e-Learning Platform will enable them to still get essential support while these restrictions remain. This project will enable people who may be vulnerable to access support from their homes during the pandemic and beyond.”
