National Digital Inclusion Network
Non-profit Organizations
A national network of community organisations helping people learn digital skills and get access to free data & devices.
About us
The National Digital Inclusion Network is powered by Good Things Foundation, the UK's leading digital inclusion charity working to help 1 million people benefit from digital by 2025. Good Things Foundation relies on the efforts of the 3,600+ hardworking community-based organisations in the National Digital Inclusion Network to reach digitally excluded people. They enable members of the National Digital Inclusion Network to deliver free digital inclusion support to their local communities, including free mobile data, free beginner digital skills learning and free refurbished devices. Thousands of organisations are now helping people get affordable access and learn skills to use the internet. But this is only the beginning. To make sure everyone has an equal chance to benefit from the digital world, we need more organisations to get involved. No matter where you are in the UK, or what your organisation does. If you want to deliver free digital inclusion support, you can join the National Digital Inclusion Network.

Thank you to all of our community partners in the National Digital Inclusion Network who joined us for our annual House of Lords Reception last week!
Celebrating progress and making new connections at Good Things’ annual House of Lords Reception. Yesterday we brought together our partners and supporters to celebrate how far we have come as a nation in helping people to be confidently connected. Opened by Baroness Julie Elliott, former chair of the Digital Inclusion APPG and our own Helen Milner OBE, our lively event brought together key players in digital inclusion. With strategic partners: Virgin Media O2, VodafoneThree, Nominet and Accenture UK & Ireland; and community partners ClearCommunityWeb, Starting Point Community Learning Partnership and Smartlyte Limited, we brought our digital nation to life by sharing experiences of working in collaboration to support people who don’t have affordable access or basic digital skills. It seems fitting that the focus of the day was to launch Digital Nation 2025 - our infographic that shows digital inclusion progress, but also brings to life how much more needs to be done to prepare people for our digital future. As the government prioritises digital inclusion, now is the time to act on digital exclusion - and we’d like to thank each and every organisation that joined us yesterday to see that for themselves!
