The Digital Divide Project is a two-year initiative designed to tackle digital exclusion in Birmingham, funded by the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA). Building on the success of our Multiply programme, this project empowers residents from marginalised communities in highly deprived areas such as Handsworth, Lozells, and Aston.

The project provides tailored support to help individuals develop essential digital skills, progress to proficiency, and access life-changing opportunities. Participants will gain confidence in using technology for everyday tasks like online banking, accessing the NHS app, applying for jobs, and engaging with online learning platforms.

Through culturally appropriate engagement and a focus on getting people into employment, the Digital Divide Project aims to address inequalities, foster independence, and create lasting change for some of Birmingham’s most underserved communities.
