About UK online centres

Who we are, where we came from, what we do and why we do it...

The overarching mission of UK online centres is to empower people to become skilled and confident citizens, at ease with ICT.

To achieve it, UK online centres work in partnership with public, private and third sector organisations on a local, regional and national level. Together, we aim to make technology reach and work for individuals, families and communities.
