[Helen Milner @helenmilner]

Great talking to ITV. On budget day we need all politicians to see that fixing the digital divide makes social, political, and economic sense (£13.7 Billion benefit). Business and charities are stepping up. Why not Government?

Together we can #FixTheDigitalDivide #Budget2024

[Good Things Foundation @GoodThingsFdn]

It’s been a busy week of media for our CEO @helenmilner!

8 radio and a TV interview already - all raising awareness of digital exclusion as we kick off our campaign #DigitalForAll.

Hear why digital inclusion isn’t only important for social equality, but also the economy 👇

[Peter Kyle @peterkyle]

Being able to talk to parents is incredibly useful, so I can hear first-hand what their very real concerns are when it comes to keeping their children safe online.

These conversations are only the start as we work to make the online world safer for our children.

[Good Things Foundation @GoodThingsFdn]

Lost without a phone? Imagine you don't have one.

So much of life relies on being digitally connected and everyone deserves the tools to take part in modern life.

That starts with digital access.

[Helen Milner @helenmilner]

I hope @BBCr4today is going to mention the millions of people who don’t have the “know how” or who can’t afford connectivity to use the NHS app. Great improvements to the app ✅ AND there is help to use the app from @GoodThingsFdn and 1000s of local places. Two sides to the story

[Helen Milner @helenmilner]

Spring Statement - an opportunity to get bigger impact for the same invesment if digital inclusion is baked into policy and public services, not bolted on.

[Good Things Foundation @GoodThingsFdn]

"Digital inclusion needs to be baked in, not bolted on."

We respond to the UK Government’s Spring Statement.

And we're live on @BBCNews with @helenmilner's reaction to today's 'Invest' #Budget2024

"Investment in public services drives growth. I welcome tech driving better, more efficient, more convenient public services. I'm hoping down the line we see investment in digital inclusion."

[Helen Milner @helenmilner]

It was great to talk to ITV news on budget day in March. I'm talking to the BBC on budget day tomorrow. I'll keep you posted.

[Helen Milner @helenmilner]

I'm looking forward to this conversation with Alan Milburn on holistic support for a pathway to work.

Skills + Health + Employabilty + Employers.
Good for people + good for growth.
Fixing the foundations + fixing digital exclusion. Hyperlocal + scalable.

Join us.

[Good Things Foundation @GoodThingsFdn]

People who are 'economically inactive' are most likely to be digitally excluded.

On our next episode of Digital Futures for Good with Rt Hon @alanmilburn1958, we'll be discussing his Pathways to Work report & how we address this together.
