Fixing the digital divide - for good

Good Things Foundation is the UK’s leading digital inclusion charity. We’re on a mission to help everyone become digitally equal, able and safe, so that they can be happier, healthier and better off.

How we're fixing the digital divide Our impact for digital inclusion

We campaign for digital inclusion

Get Online Week

Get Online Week is our annual digital inclusion campaign. Back again from 14-20 October 2024, Get Online Week is in its 17th year. It's the largest and longest-running of its kind, seeing hundreds of Digital Inclusion Hubs help tens of thousands of people get online through free community digital skills events across the UK. It's also a critical moment for us to advocate about the importance of fixing the digital divide. If you're not in a position to host an event, there's still so much you can do to help change the lives of people experiencing digital exclusion.

We gather evidence through digital inclusion research

We know what works for digital inclusion, and we research what we don’t. We partner with experts as well as conduct our research covering the wide-reaching barriers and effect of digital exclusion on people and our society. It allows us to make evidence-based decisions that inform our manifesto and strategy. Check out our most popular research:
