What is the Rapid Recovery Challenge?
Nesta’s Rapid Recovery Challenge will find and scale tools and services that improve access to jobs and money for people within the UK, focusing on those hardest hit by the economic shock resulting from COVID-19.
The £2.8 million Challenge is funded by Nesta, in partnership with JPMorgan Chase Foundation and Money and Pensions Service.
Nesta will fund three to four Community Outreach grantees to support our Rapid Recovery innovators to expand their reach, by connecting them to three key audiences who have been impacted by the economic fallout from COVID-19:
- Younger workers
- Those in (or who have recently lost) low-paid work
- Those in (or who have recently lost) insecure work
