About Employer

We aim to end digital poverty in the UK once and for all. Digital poverty stops an individual accessing digital services when, where and how they need €“ due to the affordability of kit and connectivity, lack of skills, or lack of trust in online services. We bring together charities, corporates and government to address the underlying issues stopping families gaining full access to digital services such as education, healthcare and employment. We seek social change through our National Delivery Plan, whilst also delivering solutions in local areas that help real people and provide evidence for change. Our whole team is remotely based, and we do not have fixed offices.
