Good Things Foundation

Good Things Foundation is a charity that supports digitally and socially excluded people to improve their lives through digital. Digital technology and community action is at the heart of everything we do. We bring together thousands of community partners to make up the Online Centres Network, reaching deep into communities to help people across the UK gain the support and skills they need to change their lives and overcome social challenges. Our online learning platform Learn My Way - used in centres throughout the network - helps thousands of people each year to gain basic digital skills and go on to further informal and formal learning. Through our research we discover which digital solutions really make a difference to people's lives. This means we can scale up what works through our network and by working with our partners so that together we increase the impact that we all have. We use this shared experience and knowledge to help Government and other organisations better understand the role that they can play in creating a fully digital nation. We believe that digital technology can support equality of opportunity, and ensure everyone can participate fully in today's society.
