Membership of the network is free – all they ask is for organisations to agree to support its core aims, and sign the Liverpool City Region Digital Inclusion Pledge (outlined below).
In exchange, you’ll be invited to bi-monthly meetings of the network where you can learn more about current and upcoming digital inclusion activity across the region, have opportunities to take part in delivery initiatives and engage with additional support for digital champions.
In addition, they’ll showcase your commitment to this agenda by displaying your logo on the City Region’s Digital Inclusion Network website.
What is the LCR Digital Inclusion Pledge?
