Tackling the digital divide through partnership, with Virgin Media O2 Business

20 million people in the UK lack the basic digital skills required to download apps, apply for jobs online, or use the internet with confidence. This results in a £5.5bn loss of earnings to UK employees, and is a serious problem for UK productivity and individual quality of life.

In this special episode, Jon Bernstein from the New Statesman’s Spotlight on Policy team meets Martin McFadyen from Virgin Media O2 Business and three charity and environmental partners - Emma Stone (Good Things Foundation), Emma Weston (Digital Unite) and Holly Smith (Hubbub) – to find out how they are helping local communities by providing opportunities for people to get connected and develop their digital skills.
