Our ambitions for what we want Southwark to look like in 2030.
We are part of the GLA digital inclusion taskforce across the London Boroughs to ensure the provision of broadband is incorporated into policy, procurement, social value and planning.
1670 sim cards were distributed to residents as part of the Good Things Foundation National Databank.
1440 residents have received support with their digital skills this year.
We are working with our partners, Virgin Media and AgilityNet, to support elderly residents with digital skills including courses at sheltered housing units and the Healthy Living and Learning Centre in Bermondsey.
We are supporting 15 community organisations across the borough with digital skills and connectivity, via upskilling staff to become Digital Champions and providing connectivity grants.
We are supporting technology students from London South Bank University with experience and hands-on learning from internships and coding projects supported by our partner, Docklands Settlements.
We are working with organisations, community groups, charities and academia to share best practice and increase cross sector participation.
