If you’re a business owner or social enterprise based in York or North Yorkshire, a new funding opportunity has just launched that could help you transform your digital presence — and it’s well worth knowing about.
What’s on Offer?
The Digital Adoption Grant, now open for applications, offers £1,000 to £3,000 to eligible businesses. It’s designed to support projects that involve creating new digital systems or platforms — not just updates or redesigns.
To qualify, your business must:
- Have a trading address in York or North Yorkshire
- Employ fewer than 250 people
- Provide at least 25% match funding
- Be able to complete the project by February 2026
This grant is perfect if you’re looking to:
- Launch your first website for your business
- Add new functionality to your current site — such as e-commerce, booking systems, customer portals, or interactive tools
- Implement bespoke software tailored to your operations where no suitable solution currently exists
Important: The grant does not cover updates or cosmetic changes to existing websites — it must be a new system or significant new functionality.
Why This Matters
In 2025, a strong digital presence isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity. Whether you need an online shop, a smarter way to manage clients, or a whole new platform, this grant could cover a significant portion of the cost.

Deadline to Apply: Monday 14 July 2025, 5pm
