- 2.9 billion people are digitally excluded worldwide (ITU, 2021)
- 10.2 million people lack the basic digital skills needed to use the internet (Lloyds Consumer Digital Index, 2022)
- 6.9 million people in the UK will remain digitally excluded if nothing is done to help them (Cebr, 2018)
- 1 in 5 people have stopped using products or services because they’re only available online
- Three quarters of people would feel cut off from society if they didn’t have access to the internet
