The facts are stark. The digital divide is a social divide and not being online means that people cannot access vital information during #COVID19. Potentially devastating impact on health, safety and equality. We cannot leave anyone behind. #ConsumerDigitalIndex

Considering the #TrackandTrace app - this is hugely concerning

Starting to see some really interesting results when comparing charity size to digital skills need. Here's where I need your help! I have 70% response rate from charities with £1m income. I'd love to hear the voices of the £100k - £250k charities. Please tag / share / complete
Calling voices from across the #charity sector, #trustees, #CEOs, #fundraisers, #communicators, #volunteers ➕ so many more. #Digital has been part of our lives for years, so how can we take the fear away from the word? Please complete this short survey: buff.ly/2umrGIc

Looking to chat with anyone who's been on the journey to move mindset when it comes to #digital in their #charity from "it's the responsibility of 1 person (likely Comms)" to "everyone has a role to play, everything we do has a digital aspect". Please tag / share 🙏

Go grab this opportunity with both hands and wrestle it to the ground. ( may be a bit over excited about working quickly and failing fast)

Hey #data #charity #socent #nonprofit #responsibledata folk! I'm exploring the subject of communities (of place, practice, interest) owning, harnessing, mobilising their own data. And practices to support that journey. Any tips, bright spots, etc?

It's time to stop lambasting charities for not seeing digital as relevant to them. Time to ditch the shock, outrage and horror that they don't know what you know.

Remember that user journeys can change over time and dependent on the users environment. They are intrinsically linked to age, gender, previous experience, need... and so the list can go on.
