Access to reliable good quality connectivity and technology, and being equipped with the skills to be able to make the most of our digitally connected world, are no longer luxuries - they are essential for all of us. The current cost-of-living crisis, political climate and woes about economic security have created an increased demand for initiatives that contribute towards access to digital connectivity and supply of technology for all.
This year we are showcasing the efforts of digital inclusion initiatives in not only one, but two categories dedicated to celebrating some fantastic achievements over the past 12 months. The category is being split to focus on two important parts of the discussion. The first will centre on the initiatives led by community driven & charity organisations, who have gone above and beyond, using limited resources to deliver access and skills to those most in need. The second award will be specifically focused on the UK’s internet sector, and those organisations that have prioritised digital inclusion initiatives as a core part of what they do.
We want to celebrate those organisations who have dedicated time, effort and resources to overcoming the digital divide, whether that’s providing important hardware, affordable connectivity or implementing campaigns to improve digital skills.
To enter this year's digital inclusion awards, please fill out the written entry form of the relevant category and submit to awards@ispa.org.uk by the deadline of 1st September 2024. The winners of these awards will be announced at our gala ceremony on Thursday 21st November.
