Helping everyone get online.
Digital inclusion is now essential. As more vital services go online, those without internet are disproportionately affected.
The Digital Inclusion APPG brings together parliamentarians and industry experts to explore policies to improve digital inclusion with the aim to close the digital divide in the UK.
We are committed to finding and amplifying ways to enhance access to data and devices and improve digital skills.
A ‘social tariff’ for broadband for families who need it.
Our first campaign to require UK internet service providers to introduce a low cost ‘social tariff’ for broadband for families with children on free school meals, was introduced to the House of Commons by former Chair, Darren Jones MP, on Wednesday 20th January 2021.
“Parents desperately want to do the best for their kids but simply cannot afford to pay for broadband at home. My ask of Ministers is not just about broadband policy; it is about the hope that our children have for the possibilities of their tomorrow. We all have a duty to help them.”
— Darren Jones MP, House of Commons
Let’s work together to make this happen. In partnership with industry, civil society and the regulator, we can close the UK’s digital divide.
We welcome involvement and attendance at our events from a wide range of people and stakeholders. Please get in contact if you would like to get involved.
