The UK’s largest digital inclusion campaign – takes place each October and is coordinated and delivered by Good Things Foundation
 
Get Online Week was established in October 2007 when what was then UK online centres chose to bring digital inclusion to national attention. Since then the campaign has grown into a week-long annual celebration, with thousands of events taking place each year in centres and more unusual locations, bringing digital skills and know-how to everyone.

Our project will be creating opportunities for our residents faced with the challenges of digital transformation to talk to our volunteer Online Chum Mentors about their role in both addressing social isolation and how they can peer support individuals to take control over day-to-day digital tasks that many take for granted.

Many of our members are vulnerable whether it is Learning Disability, mental heath, digital poverty or personal characteristics that increases dependency on others for help is accessing socially essential services.

To connect with us you can access our member designed website, where you can contact our project. This will be monitored by our volunteer Online Chums who will answer any questions you have about how we can help you. Of course we are acutley aware that even accessing a website is too much for many, which is why we are also making sure more traditional forms of communication are available i.e., telephone contact.

We also want local social support agencies to register an interest so that they to can alert those individuals they feel would benefit from the help on offer.
