Citizens Online is a national charity that was set up to tackle the issues of digital exclusion, to make sure that the Internet is available to everybody and to help individuals and communities understand and gain the benefits of being online.

We work in a number of ways, offering a powerful approach to digital inclusion that can be both sustainable and scalable.

More about Citizens Online >

The Get IT Together programme promotes digital inclusion amongst disadvantaged communities across the UK. The approach involves a 3-year community development process, managed by a full time project coordinator.

Whether you are helping others become digitally included or you need a little more support yourself, check out the resources on the Get IT Together website.

  April Longitudinal Study Update

  Citizens Online are running a 2 year longitudinal study across our projects. We survey learners at entry and exit on our courses then at 3,6, 12 and 24 months after training. We analyse the reasons they attend the course, their access to computers and the Internet and any barriers they face. We also look at their confidence before and after training and some of the benefits they gain from the Internet.
