It’s that time of year when the digital inclusion sector gets together to raise awareness about the challenges and impact of digital access: #GetOnlineWeek

Whether it’s access to devices, skills support or services we’ve been long advocates of a digital inclusion first approach which means maintaining non – digital pathways for critical support, proving choice and an understanding that people’s ability

It often feels as if the focus on what people cannot do or access; an otherness that assumes little responsibility by poor service design or implementation focussed solely on cost savings.

Thank you to the Good Things Foundation for driving this forward again and of course dear friends at Digital Unite.

As part of our Get Online Week activities we expect to see over 150 people this week, through our regular schedule of Digital Drop Ins, sheltered housing scheme support and community places workshop across Croydon, Bromley, Southwark and Lambeth.

We are also running 2 information sessions to introduce the Google AI Professional certificate; supporting people develop their workplace skills.
