Connecting The Dots
There are lots of people providing support for people to get online. Finding the right help can seem daunting to people just wanting some pointers. While Clean Slate focuses on how this can support people to become better off, we work with partners working more broadly.
We work with the Good Things Foundation and We Are Digital, for example. They both operate nationally to help the UK get online. They have a range of programmes. Sometimes they are able to offer free devices, like laptops. They also recruit digital champions and manage a network of ‘Online Centres’ to support new users face to face or over the phone. Clean Slate is an Online Centre, one of 5,000 across the UK, and we work in partnership with a number of them too.
LearnMyWay provides free-to-use and easy-to-follow online courses for people wanting to improve their IT skills. It is run by the Good Things Foundation and Clean Slate staff at one of our Quids In Centre drop-ins can walk you through the website. One thing we know people worry about is being scammed online, for example, and there’s a course on staying safe!
Nobody in the Dark is a campaign to ensure people on low incomes don’t miss out on the financial benefits of being online. It is run in partnership by the Good Things Foundation, Mastercard and Clean Slate (and our money skills project, Quids in!). We help make it easy to find ways to become better off by being online, including through our money health-check and the Quids in! Future-Proof Finance Quiz. We support Online Centres around the country so local people can access benefit calculators, switching sites and online budgeting tools. More here on the campaign so far.
