The national movement that's fixing the digital divide
Good Things Foundation, the UK’s leading digital inclusion charity, powers the National Digital Inclusion Network - which is made up of thousands of organisations. Together we’re focused on changing the lives of 1 million people by 2025, helping them get access to and benefit from the online world.
Being a member of the National Digital Inclusion Network means you’re part of the movement influencing digital inclusion at a national level, advocating for change and fixing the digital divide.
Helping people who are digitally excluded
The National Digital Inclusion Network is making sure digitally excluded people have the same opportunities in our digital-by-default society. And they've already made a huge impact:
221,000
free mobile data packages have been distributed to people living in data poverty
6,700
free refurbished devices have been distributed to people who couldn’t access or afford their own.
83,000
people have been supported to learn beginner digital skills on Learn My Way.
What other members have to say
“Outside of funding opportunities we’ve been able to acquire by becoming members of the Network, I’ve enjoyed attending the monthly network meet-ups. The meet-ups have been a great opportunity to hear from other [members] about what they’re doing and how they’re doing it.
I would encourage other organisations to join the Network. It helps to connect you to other organisations with a similar vision... you’ll learn new skills, the website is filled with free information and opportunities. It's enabled our centre to grow.”
- Diversity House, National Digital Inclusion Network member
"Working with Good Things and being a part of the Network is really important to us. Good Things Foundation is able to reach out to bigger organisations and government officials.
It means the issue of digital exclusion is being taken more seriously, and that’s helping grassroots organisations like us so we can show the need for the issue of digital exclusion to be addressed. ”
