Online communities are growing but not everyone has access to connect. “Just join the group chat.” isn’t always possible if you don’t have a smartphone, or the app, or even know it exists. Being logged out leads to being left out.

As James Muscat-Sharp highlights, collaboration is at our heart. Our 2026-2028 Strategy emphasises achieving digital inclusion at scale with a coalition of partners. Learn how our partnerships drive digital inclusion at: goodthingsfoundation.org/about/our-stra…

🔒 Locked Out. From attending virtual lessons to submitting homework and accessing study materials, education has increasingly moved online. But without access to a device or reliable data, many learners are being left behind — locked out of their own education.

"They feel worth something"🫂 Sara co-founded Ealing Sanctuary Hub 4 years ago, and has been working since then to create digital inclusion for sanctuary seekers in West London. We are so proud to highlight change-makers like Sara, in partnership with @LOTI_LND 🌟

Locked Out. 🔒 Want to message a friend? Join a video call? Stay in touch with family? More and more of connection and community happens online. But if you are digitally excluded, without a device or data, people are being locked out of staying connected.

This is what the National Device Bank has achieved so far, and with Reconome now as our exclusive tech partner, the impact only grows. Our shared goal is 85,000 devices to digitally excluded people by December 2029. Find out how to get involved at: goodthingsfoundation.org/partner/donate…

Digital exclusion fuels the poverty premium - some pay 25% more just because they can’t get online. Access to data is access to opportunity. From job interviews to staying in touch with family, digital support at the local level makes a real difference.

One year on from @SciTechgovuk's Digital Inclusion Action Plan & we need to pick up the pace. Whilst we celebrate unlocking 22k+ devices for people through the IT Re-use for Good Charter, more needs to be done: digital inclusion must be baked in. Read: bit.ly/4lTuMt8

Applying for a job is just the first step. Without reliable internet access, you may struggle with filling out online forms, uploading a digital version of your CV, or even getting application updates via email. Digital exclusion cuts people off from opportunity at every stage.
