We know that digital technology can be transformative in helping charities achieve their goals, whether it’s reaching new supporters or delivering more services. But there remain challenges around how inclusive digital technology is, with millions of people in the UK unable to get online.
This is a particular issue for the charity sector, whose purpose is reaching as many people as possible, from supporters to beneficiaries. Indeed, our report, Digital inclusion in the UK charity sector, revealed that 82% of charities are concerned about digital inclusion, with more than half finding it difficult to reach service users due to problems with digital technology.
In 2024, we launched a digital inclusion campaign to help address these problems. In this podcast, we explore what we’ve learned about digital inclusion as part of our campaign, sharing insights from our report and from working closely with charities engaged in tackling the issue.
Join us as we discover more about charity attitudes towards digital inclusion and what they can do to prioritise it in the future.
