Working Together: Charities and Organisations

We partner with and support other charities, government organisations, the NHS and other organisations that share our vision to create a digital world accessible to all.

In 2022 we helped 223 educational establishments, 251 companies, and 258 charities and community partners empower disabled people and older people through technology.

Nationwide charities

We can help your service users embrace the digital world through our volunteer support and free resources. If you are providing devices to your users, our Tech volunteers can be on hand with crucial digital skills advice, support and hands-on training. Perhaps your groups would benefit from some digital training?  

Find out how we partnered with Age UK to help older people use technology with confidence and achieve their everyday goals.

Local governments and councils

We believe in the power of local collaboration. By pooling local resources the individuals in the region can easily find and maximise the support on offer. We are also available to discuss supporting any funding bids for digital inclusion projects. Contact us to find out how we can support digital inclusion in your local community.

Health and social care

As more health and social care services move online our volunteers can be on-hand to guide disabled and older people through this process, increasing their digital confidence and helping them to access services online. If you are providing devices to your users our Tech volunteers can be on hand to for crucial digital skills advice, support and training so they can get to grips with the device.
