This year, the eighth national Get Online Week takes place 13 – 19 October.
The annual campaign aims to engage thousands of people and inspire them to get online and see what the internet could do for them.
Whether you want to get a job, get healthy, get connected or get a bargain, getting online could help you do it. But there are still 9.5 million people in the UK who don’t have the basic online skills to make the most of the internet.
At a Get Online Week event everyone can get a helping hand to get to grips with the internet once and for all whatever their level of skill or confidence!
Hundreds of Get Online Week events will take place across the country during October from post offices to mosques, cafes to community centres, supermarkets to town halls challenging thousands of people to see what THEY could do online.
And this year, Get Online Week is getting personal, with our local marketing packs and PR featuring real life learners telling their stories about getting online. We hope they’ll encourage others to follow in their footsteps!
