We partner with community and organisations to develop initiatives which result in increased digital inclusion.

Our point of difference is that we offer individuals and small groups individualised support from skilled people because we know that the provision of technology , although fundamental, is not enough to help digitally excluded community members overcome the barriers to becoming digitally included.
