The Digital Boost platform was launched in June 2020. As of 16th December, 1371 small businesses and charities have signed up to the platform. The platform was rebuilt in late September using more advanced technologies; over 575 mentoring sessions have taken place since this replatforming and 94% of the requests for mentoring sessions are fulfilled within 72 hours. The small businesses and charities that have registered to the platform all have access to Digital Boost’s courses, content and workshops.
