HMRC Advice and Support

Funded by HMRC, our network community partners are upskilling learners to independently use HMRC's digital services while offering support in understanding and completing interactions.

North Manchester Communities Partnerships is just one of the centres participating in this project.

From April 2021 to March 2024 Good Things Foundation is delivering the Advice and Support programme through the Online Centres Network funded by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC). The 3 year programme will support individuals who need extra help in understanding and complying with their tax obligations and claiming their entitlements, including those who are digitally excluded.

This new programme will build on 6 years of experience and knowledge in supporting customers with HMRC services. Overall, since April 2015, we have supported 47,910 individuals with advice and guidance, and between 2021-24 this project will aim to reach a further 18,750 people.

Supporting HMRC customers in a time of need

The events of the last 2 years have pushed digital exclusion firmly into the spotlight. With 2.6 million people in the UK still offline, and almost 15 million with very low digital engagement, there is still a big job to do. Through this period, people have relied on digital technology to access essential services, including those provided by the Government.

Let's Fix the Digital Divide together

The coronavirus pandemic has exposed and exacerbated digital exclusion across the UK. Digital inclusion is no longer a nice-to-have, but a need-to-have and people still urgently need access, digital skills and support. We appreciate donations of any size as your donation can contribute to getting more households connected and comfortable using technology.
