End Digital Poverty

What is Digital Poverty?

Digital poverty is the inability to interact with the online world fully, when, where, and how an individual needs to. The alarming reality is that 1 in 7 adults and 1 in 5 children in the UK are digitally excluded. This divide exacerbates socio-economic disparities, severely limiting access to education, employment, and social interaction.

Addressing digital exclusion is essential to combating poverty. Digital access is crucial for education, job opportunities, and affordable utilities. Bridging this divide is a moral imperative and a critical step towards fostering equity and unlocking significant economic benefits. Immediate and decisive action is needed to ensure everyone can fully participate in and benefit from the digital age
