Simon Community Scotland publish new report
‘I Feel Part Of Society’
Simon Community Scotland, delivery partners of Digital Lifeline Scotland, have released their latest report detailing the transformational impact of digital inclusion for people experiencing homelessness.
The report illustrates the impact of their work and highlights three key themes:
Feeling part of society: When we get digital inclusion right, people feel respected and more connected.
People at the heart: Effective digital inclusion keeps people and their real life experiences.
Models that work: Demonstrating this model of digital inclusion works.
People supported reflected that the project has changed their lives and makes them feel part of society. The reality is, when someone is digitally excluded, so many aspects of life become really difficult and even impossible. However, when people are digitally included many things become easier and possible such as connecting with loved ones, accessing health resources, banking, shopping, learning opportunities and entertainment.
Being connected has helped me sort many things in my life
