Research & Projects

As a team, we have worked in the digital inclusion sector with various partner organisations, both nationally and internationally.  We know that many resources and support systems, including those providing health and wellbeing support, have moved to online platforms.  Our research aims to better understand how people make use of these online services and what barriers to access may contribute to digital poverty.  There is an increased risk of digital exclusion for some of the most vulnerable in society.  Digital inequalities risk further isolating these marginalised groups.  Our research has helped inform UK policy briefs on digital inclusion and decision-making at county and mayoral levels to improve digital access for all. 

Past Projects

Below are links to our past projects, including research and publications, policy briefs, knowledge exchange and other research outputs.

Current Projects

Current project work includes creative ways to draw attention to digital exclusion and educate policy makers and third sector organisations.  To find out more, read about ongoing project work with the Centre for Care and with 100% Digital Leeds.

Future Projects

Future project work is often developed from previous work as gaps in knowledge are uncovered, prompting new explorations.  These projects are still in the development stage.
