This document discusses digital inclusion and the work of UK online centres. It notes that 18% of UK adults have never been online, with certain demographics like those over 65 or with low qualifications being more digitally excluded. UK online centres work to address this through their network of over 5,000 community organizations that provide digital skills training. Their training has led to outcomes like 65% of learners progressing to employment or employment activities and over 90% feeling more confident going online. The document advocates for continued action to address skills, motivation and access barriers that prevent more widespread digital inclusion.
