What we want to do
Digital inclusion plays a vital role in ensuring people who may be vulnerable and socially isolated are not further disadvantaged by the restrictions imposed by the Coronavirus pandemic.
This toolkit serves as a how-to guide on strategies that can be used when tackling digital exclusion in our communities. Drawing initially on the combined experience and learning of Leeds and Croydon councils, the toolkit is a shared resource for any council or organisation, where you can learn from others as well as contributing your own experience.
How to contribute
Your ideas, opinions and knowledge are needed to help grow this toolkit.
