Nesta, the innovation foundation, has today launched its 12-month Rapid Recovery Challenge which aims to “find and support tools and solutions that improve access to jobs and money for people across the UK”.

Nesta is calling on businesses, charities and organisations to submit plans for innovative solutions to be in with a chance of joining its Rapid Recovery Stream and winning £475,000 in non-partnership funding.
