Hello <<First Name>>

There’s just a month to go until our annual digital inclusion campaign, Get Online Week - taking place from 14-20 October.

We know many of you have already planned events across communities during the week but if you haven’t yet, you can register to hold an event for your customers, clients, residents or service users.

The website also has lots of event holder and supporter social media resources for you to use. You can find some handy tips here on how to make the most of promoting your event online.

Our marketing packs contain lots of exciting event materials and goodies, which you can see below.

Finally, this week’s Get Online Week star, Sam has maintained his independence by learning how to do his shopping online.

Earlier this year, we were awarded a contract by the Office of National Statistics (ONS) to provide support to people who lack either the skills or access to complete the 2021 UK Census online.

To get started, we’ll be trialling this support in 4 areas - Carlisle, Ceredigion, Tower Hamlets and Hackney - from 25th September to 17th November 2019. If you’re in these areas, or are interested to know more, take a look at our website.
