Improve your skills
To get online, people don’t just need a laptop or tablet – they may also need help with how to use it, and with how to get connected to the internet.
Why is getting online important?
Accessing services
From food shopping deliveries to doctor’s appointments and benefit claims, crucial services are increasingly moving online, and reducing traditional ways of keeping in touch. Everyone should be able to benefit from the increased convenience this brings.
Keeping up with school work
Since the widespread implementation of home schooling during the pandemic, it is now crucial for all students to have access to the internet. Even with the return to school, many institutions expect students to complete and submit work online.
Avoiding isolation
COVID-19 and the lockdowns proved that online access was essential for keeping in touch with colleagues, friends and families. Even with society opening up again, there has been a permanent shift towards video calling that could help many people feel less isolated from far-away friends and contacts.
