FREE Digital Skills Training to Support End Digital Poverty Day

If 6 million people in the UK gain essential digital skills for work there will be approximately a £17 billion increase in yearly earnings¹ and an estimated 18 to 24 thousand lives could be saved each year!

In 2024 it is alarming that 1 in 7 adults, and 1 in 5 children, in the UK are digitally excluded¹, meaning they do not have the ability to interact with the online world fully, when, where and how they need to. This may be due to a lack of a device, broadband access or skills. Lets come together to change these shocking statistics and create a digitally inclusive future.

Poor digital skills do not only impact individuals in their personal lives, it also significantly impacts their opportunities for employment. Those who are unemployed are 2 to 3 times more likely to be in digital poverty¹. Employers and their organisations are impacted by poor digital skills when it comes to productivity, communication, training costs and their competitive edge. In this tech-driven digital world poor or limited digital skills can affect career growth and job satisfaction.

Digital skills do not only bring economic benefits, research by Deloitte for the Digital Poverty Alliance found that an estimated 18 to 24 thousand lives could be saved each year due to improved digital access with improved health literacy.
