Charity Digital – Topics – The best digital inclusion resources for people and organisations

Check out the digital inclusion hub!

 

Not everyone has equal access to the benefits of the digital world, and that’s a huge problem. People from any background and age group can be digitally excluded – and for a number of different reasons. A lack of meaningful access to the internet makes it difficult to find and use essential services and information, results in exclusion from online society, undermines ability to stay in touch with friends and family, and creates barriers to work and education.

 

Whether you are looking for support for yourself or a loved one, are trying to make your organisation’s online presence more inclusive, or wish to join the network of charities, companies, and public sector bodies working on the cause, this page has the resources for you.
