Impact Report August 2023
An Impact Report is designed to show how the work we do makes a difference to those we support. Village Web Company CIC has two main goals as a community interest company (CIC) which are to fight digital exclusion and increase diversity in the UK tech industry. My mission is to make sure that everyone is able to make the most of the internet, that includes: offering affordable websites to small businesses and start ups; providing inclusive work experience placements to students from local high schools and colleges and delivering free to attend activities and drop ins that help develop digital skills and confidence.
The United Kingdom has a huge digital divide and every time a public service has to be accessed online instead of in person or over the phone, there are people left behind and that is the main reason why I chose to become a social enterprise, instead of a traditional tech company.
If you’re interested in the work I’ve done so far, feel free to view the report below. (An accessible version of this report will be added shortly. Please let me know if you would like to be notified when this is available. )
