Advice NI Calls for urgent action to combat digital exclusion and protect vulnerable communities.

Northern Ireland currently has the highest rate of non-internet users within the UK

Advice NI is seeking to recruit volunteers from rural communities to deliver on a LINK funded project. As part of LINK's access to cash activities, LINK wishes to support and encourage digital inclusion in the UK, including through initiatives with selected groups and individuals.

Join us at our AGM - "Digital Transformation - Making it Work for Everyone?"

Advice NI have partnered with SENAC to deliver a tailored Digital Skills programme for parents of children with additional needs.

Northern Ireland has the highest rate of non-internet users on these islands at 14.7% (Office of National Statistics, 2021. Digital 2021: Ireland).

Advice NI Annual General Meeting calls for restoration of NI Executive to provide desperately needed local support as poorest households brace themselves for a winter of crisis and deprivation.

Advice NI, in partnership with the Special Educational Needs Advice Centre (SENAC), plan to support carers of children with learning difficulties to become more digitally included enabling them to engage with policy and decision makers and to access their rights and entitlements. Funded by the Department of Health, this project will support carers to learn the digital skills to go online safely and to access their rights and entitlements. We will be sharing more updates on this project in our next edition of Advice Matters.

There is less than a week to go until our AGM which will take place on the 25th February 2020 at 9.30am in Riddel Hall, Stranmillis Belfast. 

The Advice NI Annual General Meeting took place recently at the Skainos Centre in east Belfast.
