In today’s digital society, connectivity is essential to almost everything we do. Being online facilitates financial management, social connections, access to work and education, and can help us stay safe and healthy.

“In the UK, around 2 million households do not have access to the internet and many more lack the digital skills needed to take advantage of all the benefits technology can bring – from paying a bill to accessing education services or employment opportunities. As our society becomes increasingly digital, there is still sadly not equal access to connectivity, digital skills or devices for all,” said Nicki Lyons, Corporate Affairs and Sustainability Director at Vodafone UK.
