Notes to editors - National Awards for stars of Digital Inclusion

Notes to editors

UK online centres help people get to grips with technology and get the skills and confidence they need to change their lives. The UK online centres Awards have been created to celebrate the achievements of some of those people, and the hard work of the centres and staff that support them.
The UK online centres Awards Ceremony 2008 took place on 24 June at the Globe Theatre. The Awards were supported by key partners Intel and Ofcom. Other supporters include Becta, and the Learning and Skills council. A representative from each organisation made up the judging panel for the Awards.
UK online centres are managed by Ufi, the organisation also behind learndirect. For more information please visit www.ukonlinecentres.com.
