National Digital Inclusion Network

The Online Centres is made up of more than 5,000 organisations based at the heart of hyper-local communities, each aiming to help people use digital technology to become more included, access essential services and take advantage of the opportunities the internet provides.

Every Online Centre is different, with some operating in libraries, community venues, leisure centres or shopping centres, as well as some in more unusual locations like pubs and cafes. Many centres also run outreach sessions, taking digital technology and access out to groups of people in places like care homes or tenants' associations.

What they all have in common is a commitment to digital and social inclusion, and to helping the hardest to reach.
