Campaign to build a North East where digital inclusion is a right enjoyed by all. Started in May 2020. #BetterConnected
North East England
Joined July 2020
Our website will remain active for a few more months whilst we figure out what to do with everything on it, or maybe find someone who wants to take it on! https://t.co/Vas56vhMmu Thanks to all who worked so hard to bring real change to digital inclusion in #NorthEast England!

We've provided equipment and internet access to people in need, provided free accessibility training, and helped local authorities develop better #digitalinclusion policy. Most importantly, we've pushed the narrative that digital inclusion is a gateway to our #humanrights.

To all of our campaign supporters, The Better ConNEcted Campaign is drawing to a close due to an enormous lack of capacity. We are sad to have to close the campaign know there is so much more we could have done. But we are also so proud of all we have achieved together! 💪
