The UK is experiencing one of the most challenging economic times in recent history. Pre-Covid the North of England was already identified as having the most areas with deprivation. Covid-19 and current political and economic instability outside the UK has only exasperated deprivation in the region.
Having access to the online world is now part and parcel of our daily lives. It enables us to gain access to numerous services from healthcare, education and training, employment to bill payments and much more. Yet many families in North East England and throughout the UK do not have the available resources to enable them to perform these simple tasks online.
Digital inclusion is no longer a luxury. It is a necessity. A necessity that must be addressed now, if we as a society really want to tackle digital inequality and provide our children, young people and the wider community with the digital tools, education, and aspiration to better themselves and society as a whole.
Town and Community have taken an active role in ensuring digital inclusion for all, working with the Digital Poverty Alliance and STEM Learning.
We're actively buddying businesses with local schools and communities through the donation of IT equipment and mobile phones. We have collaborated with one of the biggest manufacturer and employer in the North East of England with the aim to ensure over the next 3 years, 84,300 children in schools will benefit from using and learning through the digital equipment that is being distributed.
In addition, we have a pilot programme ongoing to support children with Type 1 Diabetes through the provision of digital medical devices linked to mobile phones.
