Are you a community organisation that helps people in Newcastle and the North East?

Following on from the wonderfully collaborative event in Durham, we're running another free event to bring together community organisations and project leaders from Newcastle and the North East. This time, we're also bringing corporate and Government partners to explore how together we can make digital inclusion happen in our area. Come along for...

  • Practical, hands-on workshops that inspire and enable people to act and drive sustainable change. 
  • First-hand stories from practitioners about what’s working and the difference it’s making.
  • A close-up look at key components that help digital inclusion thrive in communities in the North East, from engagement to infrastructure.
  • Networking & lunch with people passionate about inclusion and community empowerment.
  • Information about Let’s Get Digital -  a place-based programme that helps organisations support people with digital motivation, confidence and skills - and how it might help your organisation.
