Can you help end digital poverty?

Join the Digital Poverty Alliance on 12 September to help end digital exclusion in the UK as part of their End Digital Poverty Day.

Can you help end digital poverty?

End Digital Poverty Day features a comprehensive range of online and in-person events designed to engage all stakeholders. From webinars and skill-building workshops to educational sessions, drop-in advice forums, and roundtable discussions, there are numerous opportunities for individuals and organisations to contribute to bridging the ever-expanding digital divide. This inclusive series of events unites participants of all ages and skill levels from various regions across the UK.

Solving poverty in the UK means addressing digital exclusion. Whether it’s accessing education, the social security system, job opportunities or cheaper gas and electricity, it’s a core part of how people live.

  • One in five children home schooling during the pandemic did not have access to an appropriate device like a laptop.
  • 26% of young people do not have access to a laptop or similar device.
  • 53% of people offline can’t afford an average monthly broadband bill.
