Social Tech Trust
At Social Tech Trust we believe that if lives are transformed by tech, they should be transformed for the better. For that to happen, all people – and particularly young people – need to have the opportunity to use, own and create tech. We understand the negative impact of being left behind in a digital world.
With an increasingly tech-driven job market, ‘digital by default’ public services, and myriad opportunities to save time and money by transacting online, it’s crucial that young people are equipped with the digital skills and confidence they need to thrive.
