Connection Project

The Connection Project is a national partnership between businesses, charities and public sector organisations. We work together to make digital services in the UK accessible to everyone.People often talk about the “digital future”, but the hard truth is that it’s already here and millions of people can’t access or trust the online services that others use every day. This increases inequality and forces organisations to keep expensive analogue systems running.We need to change the story around digital inclusion because it’s not an impossible problem, it’s a shared opportunity we can achieve together. Recent research by PwC shows that a fully connected UK could unlock up to £30 billion each year through greater productivity,innovation and opportunity, but this can’t happen if each sector works on its own.That’s where The Connection Project comes in. We bring business, government and civil society together to develop a more inclusive, connected UK.Our shared roadmap combines the knowledge of the public sector, the creativity of industry and the reach of community organisations.We focus on long-term system improvements, not short-term fixes. We collect and use data, build partnerships and share insights to make sure digital systems are accessible, efficient and fair. Our work includes finding out who is excluded and why, testing practical solutions and helping organisations design services that work for everyone.Our vision is simple: a digital UK where everyone can belong, take part and succeed; a country where technology supports people effectively and a society that recognises connection as the foundation of progress.
