We help organisations tackle digital exclusion.
We do this in four ways, by supporting you to:
- Understand the issue more deeply;
- Develop strategy, action plans and partnerships;
- Deliver digital inclusion through digital champions;
- Manage and measure change through staff training, signposting, marketing, monitoring and evaluation.

Our flagship offer is Switch, which will help you increase uptake of your digital services. Our Switch programme has Big Lottery match funding available for the next 20 partners.
As well as our Switch programmes, we can also support you in:
- Bespoke research and evaluation;

We have a broad understanding of the many issues surrounding digital inclusion, and in-depth analysis of how this issue should be tackled and how progress can be measured:
- The Case for a Systemic Approach to Digital Skills (pdf, 2014) – which covers our perspective on the relevance of digital inclusion to employability skills
- Digital Accessibility: a brief landscaping (pdf, 2015) – summarising the state of play regarding digital accessibility, looking at trends in demographics and technology; the policy and standards landscape; and the case for digital accessibility for businesses and other organisations
- Get IT Together: a longitudinal study (pdf, 2014) – research evaluating the impact of digital skills over the longer term, including employment outcomes.
