Get Connected 100 - Digital inclusion for people experiencing homelessness Simon Community Scotland
-
- Non-Profit
With funding from the Scottish Government, Simon Community Scotland provided 100 people experiencing homelessness with:
A digital device
Unlimited connectivity
Support from a trained Digital Champion
A learning framework of digital skills
The results were life changing.
In our first ever podcast, you'll hear about how digital inclusion is absolutely vital for people experiencing homelessness.
When people can access the digital world, they are able to access other inclusion agendas such as social inclusion, health inclusion, financial inclusion, democratic inclusion, educational inclusion, cultural inclusion and inclusion in public services. This project doesn’t just include people in ‘digital’, it includes people in many other critical life areas. When people face multiple exclusions, ‘Digital’ is a pathway back into society and is an essential part of the solution to recovery from homelessness.
Thank you to everyone involved in the project and the podcast.
