We’re championing digital inclusion for all - through access to skills and technology.
End Digital Poverty Day 2024
12th September 2024 marks the second End Digital Poverty Day, a nationwide initiative dedicated to raising awareness about the pressing issue of digital poverty and divide in the UK. Established by the Digital Poverty Alliance, its mission is to eliminate digital poverty by 2030. The BCS and DPA has joined forces by signing a Memorandum of Understanding last year.
Here are some stories to amplify and inspire BCS and non BCS members that we can all do something individually or collectively to help close the digital divide.
