Corporate partners
Access4all is entirely funded by donations from external organisations. Below are our partners who have generously supported the project so far, allowing us to improve digital skills and increase digital access in our services.
Starting June 2025, Framework’s UKSPF-funded Digital Inclusion Project will support digitally excluded people across Nottingham City, focusing on those affected by homelessness, addiction, mental ill-health, complex needs, and long-term unemployment. The project uniquely targets economically inactive individuals of all ages—particularly those overlooked by mainstream digital initiatives.
This project tackles digital exclusion by offering free devices, data SIMs, and tailored support through training. This covers essential digital skills such as email setup, Universal Credit navigation, online banking, NHS apps, and job searching, with progression to tools like MS Office and Google Docs. Many participants face additional barriers such as low literacy, disability, or language needs; accessible devices and features like screen readers, voice typing, and embedded Google Translate are used to ensure inclusion.
The project empowers participants to move into further learning, volunteering, or employment—further supported by resources like www.access4all.uk and its 24/7 AI chatbot “Ask ADA.”
This project is funded by East Midlands Combined County Authority and the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
