Editor's Notes
- Not economic
- Working closely with almost 4000 community partners – in pubs, community centres, cafes, churches, libraries, mosques, buses, etc
- Partners – not owned, managed or funded by us
- Supported in person and online via our learning website
- Our work is all about the people who need to be supported and connected to technology, and we do that via helping them in places (either centres or going out to where they are)
- http://www.ukonlinecentres.com/corporate/content/view/11/112/lang,en/
- In 2009 Martha and PWC worked out the massive savings to Government if everybody got online
- Savings vary but in May George Osbourne said the savings were about £8 per contact moved online from face to face or telephone
- It’s a big job – not to mention the 8m+ people who are offline, the online folk don’t use online Government that much
- Journey from totally offline to using online Government services. How are we shifting people onto online Government services, well nobody come into a centre and asks to use online Government Services, however 43% of everyone we help then goes on to shift their contacts with Government from offline to online
- We do that in centres and through national partnership campaigns
- People are supported by digital champions – at home by family, and in centres by thousands of volunteers
- This argument was then picked up by Gordon Brown and led to UK online centres being awarded £30m to an additional 1m people online between 2010-2013
- I love proving the financial value of the work we do, but I love helping real people- individuals - to get online. This is Betty, who I helped at Sheffield Town Hall in early November. She’s 78 and on pension credit. Since we first met she’s won free broadband from Plusnet, and therefore been given a spare laptop from a friend, and therefore started coming to weekly learning sessions at the Wetherspoons Bankers Draft in Sheffield and last week she got a reply to her first ever email she sent to a friend in Canada. I think Betty will find life easier and more enjoyable now she’s online, and I think she’ll shift some of her Government contacts too. That’s how we deliver channel shift.
