DevicesDotNow impact reports
There are currently 7 million people don’t have the internet at home according to Ofcom.
There has always been a digital divide in this country, but when the UK went into lockdown in March 2020 digitally excluded people were left more vulnerable and isolated than ever before.
In a rapid response to this national emergency, FutureDotNow and Good Things Foundation coordinated the national initiative DevicesDotNow.
Working with a network of hyperlocal community hubs, DevicesDotNow identified and distributed over 10,000 devices and internet data packages to some of the UK’s most vulnerable people in just 5 months, enabling them to shield, self-isolate and stay at home safely during Covid-19.
Throughout the DevicesDotNow campaign, we released three interim reports tracking the campaign’s rapid response to the pandemic and the impact it had on digitally excluded people in the UK.
