The Digital Neighbourhood Network Scheme started in September 2022. It is a digital evolution project being run by Northfield Community Partnership. It was commissioned by Birmingham City Council’s Prevention & Communities team in the Adult Social Care Directorate.

The project aims to identify the digital maturity of each of the city’s 10 Neighbourhood Network Scheme's (one in each constituency) and work with them and the Neighbourhood Network Scheme's 'Connected Communities' groups to maximise opportunities for digital inclusion for the benefit of local community groups and citizens.

The Connected Communities groups are communities and groups in Birmingham which are not geographically based, currently focussed on the LGBTQ+ community, the deaf community and the GRT (Gypsy, Roma, Traveller) community.
