Partners
Channel4's Innovation for the Public (4iP) fund is an exciting revolution in digital funding in the UK. Formed as a collaboration between Channel 4 and a series of regional funding partners from around the UK, 4iP is part of Channel 4's Next on 4 strategic blueprint, which aims to invent how publicly valuable content is conceived, funded and delivered for British audiences using new media platforms. Hatty attained 4iP funding thanks to her passion for transforming the online care sector, as well as iCaring's core values, unique concept and forward-thinking digital vision. Together they plan to chart new social and cultural territory online.
UnLtd is a charitable organisation set up by seven leading organisations that promote social entrepreneurship in the UK. iCaring is proud to be supported by UnLtd and strongly believes in its remit to provide support and development for social entrepreneurs as a way of creating a force for positive change in the UK.
When Hatty noticed the desperate need for better online social care provisions, she joined forces with Virgin Media Pioneers (a joint initiative between Virgin Media and Enterprise UK), who helped her to develop plans for iCaring. You can visit Hatty's video blog here http://www.virginmediapioneers.com/members/harrietthomas for more information about how she has created this unique digital service especially for those with individual care needs across the UK.
