Our current work includes our Switch offer — supporting digital inclusion partnerships in 20 areas. We are helping organisations to ensure no-one is excluded during digital service transformation.
Our two longer-term, successful, “deep dive” Switch projects are: Digital Brighton & Hove and Digital Gwynedd.
This work is funded in part by the National Lottery Community Fund, through Citizens Online’s participation in the One Digital programme. We contribute to the One Digital Community of Practice, a process of collective learning that is producing resources including a toolkit for organisations looking to start digital inclusion projects.
