The Digital Poverty Alliance (DPA) has set out to end digital poverty once and for all in the UK by 2030 by making technology more available to those who struggle to gain access. Our main focus is based on policy and advocacy, gaining the evidence that the UK needs to bring the community together to create social change.

Digital poverty affects millions across the UK, with approximately 10 million adults, around 20%, lacking foundational essential digital skills, and up to 19 million over-16s experiencing some form of digital poverty – whether lack of access to kit, connectivity or skills. The ultimate goal of the DPA is to live in a world which enables everyone to access the life-changing benefits that digital technologies bring by convening, completing and inspiring collaboration for the UK and global community to lead sustainable action against digital poverty.
