OUR VISION

Better ConNEcted imagines a North East where digital inclusion is a right enjoyed by all. We want people to have the skills, technology and internet to access goods, services and information online, in order to close the digital divide.

Access to the internet is a necessity. Our aim is to improve digital inclusion in the region to create a fairer, more equal North East.

Tackling Digital Inclusion Using Four Strategies

LOCAL GOVERNMENT

Gaining commitment from local authorities across the region to make digital inclusion a priority across the council and its committees. We want local authority practices and policies to reflect this better.
