What we do:   

Our main focus is policy and advocacy, gaining the evidence that we need, and bringing the community together to create the social change needed to end digital poverty by 2030.

Our aim is to convene, compel and inspire collaboration for the UK community to lead sustainable action against digital poverty.  We will do this through four key pillars of work:

• Unifying the community of organisations working in this space to build solutions

• Being evidence-based and using behavioural science and research to create impact

Key Statistics

1.5 million people in the UK currently lack access to a basic laptop, tablet or smartphone

Almost everything we do each day uses some from of a digital device, whether looking up directions, paying a bill, messaging friends, booking appointments, doing homework, or finding work, internet access is now vital to take part in society, grow the economy, and use essential public services.

Material focus has established that there are 880 million unused items setting in the UK homes some of which (e.g. computers, laptops and mobile phone) could be donated through inclusion schemes
