Get involved with Digital For All: Good Things’ latest campaign

Digital For All is a national campaign raising awareness of digital exclusion and the transformative impact getting access to digital has on people. Here's how you can get involved.

On March 1st, Good Things Foundation is launching Digital For All, a national campaign raising awareness of digital exclusion. Considering the UK has its sights set on becoming a tech superpower, Good Things are posing the question: we’re all for digital, so shouldn’t digital be for all?  Everyone should be able to access and use digital safely, confidently and affordably.

The campaign will run for the whole of March, drawing attention to digital exclusion: what it is, the reality that it affects millions of people in the UK, and the free digital services that digitally excluded people can access across the nation.

Real stories of digital inclusion are the foundation of Digital For All. Good Things are sharing impactful stories from people supported by the National Digital Inclusion Network, shining a spotlight on the transformative power of digital inclusion made possible through the local digital support you provide to your communities.

Here’s five ways you can get involved in Digital For All!
