Digital inclusion pilot for social housing residents - research sharing sessions

Research findings from the largest digital inclusion social housing intervention pilot in Europe

The Greater Manchester digital inclusion pilot for social housing residents is the largest social housing intervention programme of its kind in Europe – potentially the world. Bringing together five of the UK’s internet service providers to work with five social housing providers and local authorities to explore the barriers to digital inclusion, the pilot focuses on enhancing a standard of internet connectivity and improved participation and aims to reach 5,000 social housing households.
