In an increasingly online world, organisations need to ensure that their services are accessible to everyone irrespective of their circumstances. Yet in the current cost-of-living crisis, many people are prevented from accessing and benefiting from the digital technologies due to a lack of skills, or a lack of access to data and devices.

The Digital Poverty Alliance can help your organisation overcome the challenges imposed by digital exclusion. We can help you design and develop a digital inclusion strategy that benefits the communities you serve. If you want to understand more about the real-world effects of digital exclusion, we can use our research expertise to uncover practical and meaningful insights.

By working with the DPA you would be supporting an organisation that is working at the forefront of efforts to end digital poverty once and for all.

How we can help

If you are looking to understand digital inclusion, then we can help. As a charity, the Digital Poverty Alliance is the winner of the ISPA UK Internet Hero of the year 2022 award and our flagship Tech4Families programme was recently shortlisted for the Social Mobility Awards 2023.

We have extensive experience in conducting high quality research reports including the landmark Digital Poverty Evidence Review and with developing major strategic documents including the Digital Poverty Alliance National Delivery Plan.

We can offer two core services to organisations.
