Digital inclusion has deep and wide-ranging social consequences, ranging from worsening economic inequality, lack of access to opportunities, and vulnerability to crime. In the UK, an estimated one in seven people are deprived across two or more dimensions of digital.
We decided to track how charities are tackling digital exclusion in 2024. Our report, Digital inclusion in the UK charity sector, explores how charities are falling behind in the digital space, the tech challenges charities face, and the measures they are taking to address the issue.
The report showed some troubling results, with 82% of charities saying they’re concerned about digital exclusion today. But the results provided hope, too, with the majority of charities suggesting they had a clear vision on what needs to happen to end digital exclusion.
In this webinar, Head of Content at Charity Digital, Ioan Marc Jones, will explore the fundamentals of digital exclusion and inclusion, explore the findings from the report in detail, and look at the ways charities can bridge the digital divide long into the future.
