Cambridge Online is a local charity, dedicated to enabling digital inclusion. It is estimated that 1 in 4 individuals suffer some form of online exclusion, and over 30% of schoolchildren currently sit below the minimum digital living standard. We help over 2,000 people a year (all demographics), improving their lives by practical support and timely interventions. Also, with the support of our partner Sustainable Tech 4 Good, we refurbished and gifted over £28,000 of digital devices in 2025.We want to raise awareness of this chronic issue and encourage firms to get involved and help in whatever way they can. How you as a business help, the benefits of attending, and who would attend: We focus on 3 key areas:
- Providing equipment to those who lack a digital device
- Skills training on how to use a phone / laptop
- Confidence for those who are afraid of engaging (scams, phishing etc.)
Attendees will receive powerful insights into the work done by the charity, and how their organisations can help, including:
- Volunteering is an essential part of our operations, either helping host our sessions or assisting us for with our IT, marketing and events, fund-raising, or data analysis (we have a list of suitable opportunities).
- Demand for equipment far exceeds supply, so any donations would be fantastic and this is often the quickest way to improve a person’s outcome.
