About Us
The Digital Inclusion Team is funded by the UK Government (Communities and Local Government department) and hosted by the City of London to implement the report "Inclusion Through Innovation" published in 2005. Our focus is on how the innovative application of digital technologies, of any kind, can improve the lives and life chances of socially excluded people and deprived neighbourhoods in England.
We operate as a programme management team, idea broker and project facilitator. We directly support Government goals set out in the 2006 Local Government White Paper “Strong and Prosperous Communities” and the Social Exclusion Action Plan “Reaching Out”.
The Team operates across and connects all sectors. It is not a funding body, and is not part of Central Government.
The working definition of “digital inclusion” for us is:
The use of technology either directly or indirectly to improve the lives and life chances of disadvantaged people and the places in which they live
Many examples of inspirational projects are described in Annex I of Inclusion Through Innovation. There are however many other interpretations of the term "digital inclusion", discussed here.
Resources and contacts relating to our work, in particular our study of the digital inclusion landscape in England, can be found here Links to Resources.
