Did you know that 22% of the UK population do not have the necessary skills to use technology in everyday life?
Within our modernised United Kingdom there are many functions of the internet, which extend beyond online shopping and social media. The NHS is working more and more online, with over 40,000,000 using the NHS website every month. Applications for benefits and social housing are moving to use online procedures more and more also.
Our mission is to bridge that gap, to help support some of the 22 percent that are digitally excluded to be digitally included, so that they can communicate with friends and family confidently, so that they can ensure their own personal health needs are met and so that they can enjoy life to the best of their own ability within this modernised United Kingdom.
There are a number of ways you can help:
- Donate Digital Kit
- Donated Data
- Volunteer as a Digital Buddy
