Join the network

As part of our mission to ensure that everyone can benefit from digital, we're looking for organisations who want to join our movement to drive social change by helping people to improve their skills and confidence so they can thrive in a digital world.

If you can provide a welcoming space for your community members, a supportive learning experience and/or access to the internet for your learners - we would love you to join us!
