Get Online Week 2020 support from OCM

Get Online Week 2020 highlights the importance of digital inclusion and the need to support people with low digital skills. As more services move online, access to technology and the ability to use it safely has never been more important.

OCM is proud to support this national campaign, which raises awareness of digital exclusion and encourages community-led solutions.

Supporting digital inclusion in Worcestershire

As part of Get Online Week 2020, OCM has supplied IT equipment to Onside Advocacy. These devices play a key role in supporting The Together Campaign, which helps vulnerable adults access essential services.

As a result, individuals can stay connected and receive support in a safe and accessible way. You can also learn more about digital inclusion initiatives through Good Things Foundation, which leads the Get Online Week campaign.

Making a difference through technology

Providing access to IT equipment helps reduce barriers for those who may struggle with digital tools. In addition, it supports independence and improves access to important services such as healthcare, communication and education.

This support is especially important for vulnerable groups, who may otherwise face isolation or difficulty accessing help.

A practical approach to community support

OCM continues to support local organisations by repurposing IT equipment and ensuring it is ready for reuse. This approach not only helps communities but also supports sustainability by extending the life of devices.
