The team set out their aspirations to address the needs of thousands of people in Oxfordshire who are not online. Their vision is that by 2025, the majority of those who are not currently online will have the digital access they need.
Oxford City Council has provided a further 70 pre-owned laptops to help children in the city learn online, in addition to 50 donated to an Oxford school earlier in the year.
School children going back to school will need laptops to support them with their learning.
This session by the business networking group B4 was the chance to hear from schools and community outreach organisations about the continued problem of digital exclusion.
The first phase of the project aims to help existing users, who already have access to a device, become more confident.
Over recent years, more and more services and parts of our day-to-day life assume that everyone has online access, an email account and the skills to use a device.
