Whether you want to help someone use or access the internet, donate funds or devices, or become a digital inclusion hub - there's so many ways you can help fix the digital divide.

We power free digital inclusion services

These services are delivered through the National Digital Inclusion Network, made up of thousands of organisations reaching digitally excluded people across the UK.

National Device Bank

The secure, sustainable and socially responsible solution for corporate IT asset disposal. Don't dispose, donate your company's unused tech to the National Device Bank and help digitally excluded people get online.

National Databank

Like a foodbank but for mobile data, the National Databank provides free mobile SIM cards to help digitally excluded people get connected.

Learn My Way

Digital skills support is at the heart of the National Digital Inclusion Network. Learn My Way helps people with low or no digital skills to gain confidence and learn how to use the internet and digital technologies.

Our policy asks

We're calling for the Government to act on digital inclusion with three clear policy asks: co-invest to help more digitally excluded people, scrap broadband VAT, and reuse tech for social good.

Stories from people supported to get online

"I feel that everything is falling into place, I'm more focused on my goals going forward rather than looking back at where I went wrong. My journey has made me stronger. Compared to where I was a year ago, I'm more ambitious and back to where Shahida was - I'm back to myself."

Working together to fix the digital divide

Partnership with purpose

We don't do this alone - our partnerships are the lifeblood that drive our ambition to fix the digital divide. We make a real impact by working with collaborative and innovative partners who share our passion to succeed in our mission.

If your organisation is passionate about social inclusion, digital transformation and environmental impact, then we want to explore a partnership with you.

The Minimum Digital Living Standard for Households with Children has launched

For the first time, we have a benchmark defined by the public about what families think is enough to feel included in our digital society. It tells us what families need to know, do, and be able to afford. Emma Stone explores the groundbreaking new findings.

Research shows that starting career-related learning (CRL) early is essential. Pupils start to adopt stereotypes based on gender, ethnicity and social background from an early age. Such stereotypes can go on to influence career and subject choices.

Career-related learning (CRL) in primary schools is about broadening pupil's horizons and aspirations, challenging stereotypes and helping them develop the skills and sense of self that will enable them to reach their full potential.

Our career-related learning resources for primary schools includes activities to give pupils a wide range of experiences of education, transitions and the world of work.

Our resources support primary schools to develop an inclusive approach to career-related learning. You can easily access them by visiting our  Primary Platform.

To access our training on 'Getting Started with Career-related Learning in Primary', visit The Academy

Find out more about why starting aspirations conversations early can be so powerful for children in our video.

Frequently asked questions 🤔

I have a question about my application or programme eligibility

When will I hear back if I have been successful with my application?
Once you have applied for your programme, you will receive a confirmation email. You will be notified about the outcome of your application via email at least 3 days before the programme start date. Good luck!
Can I apply to multiple programmes?
Yes, you can sign up to multiple programmes with us. The live talks will be available as recordings, so you can catch up on any potential clashes.
Who can take part in the programme? (Age limits, some programmes have location constraints but most don't etc.)
Most of our programmes require students to be in school/college. Some programmes require students to be based in specific regions of the UK, this is stipulated by the organisations themselves, and is not defined by Springpod.

However, the ages mentioned on our programmes are more of a guideline than a strict limit. As such, we more than welcome older students to apply as well!

I have a question about my assignment

How long does it take for assignments to be reviewed?
Assignments can take up to a week or longer to review and be marked complete. Rest assured, it will be reviewed soon and your certificate will be generated once your programme has been marked as complete.
What do I do if I upload the wrong file?
If you make a mistake when uploading a file, please email hello@springpod.com. We will be able to make a note on our system. Don't worry, the outcome of your programme will not be affected by this.

I have a question about the programme dates, deadline or workload

I won't be able to complete the programme, can I have an extension?
There is no specific cut-off deadline for completing your programme (although, if possible, we would encourage you to complete all the work within the time frame, alongside the live webinar sessions).
When does the programme start?
Our programmes have various start dates, you can find the exact date on the programme website page. These are available here: https://www.springpod.com/virtual-work-experience/search

You will be notified if your application has been successful, 3 days before the programme start date.
What happens if I can't finish the work experience in time?
All programme material will remain accessible after the end date of the programme. Students can continue to work through their programme after the official end date. Although, if possible, we would strongly encourage students to complete all the work within the time frame, alongside the live webinar sessions.
How long will I have to complete this programme?
There is no specific cut-off deadline for completing your programme (although, if possible, we would encourage you to complete all the work within the time frame, alongside the live webinar sessions).
How much work is required for these programmes? (Will I be able/should I complete more than one programme at a time)?
There is around 10 hours worth of work in total, spread across a two week period. The live talks will be available as recordings, so you can catch up on any work whenever possible.

The live talks will take place during weekday working hours. However, all live talks will be available as recordings and the courses can be completed at your own convenience. Once you have access, you can view and complete the material as and when you can, within the time frame of the course in question (for example, within a two week period). In total, there is around 10 hours worth of work. There is no specific cut-off deadline for completing your programme (although, if possible, we would encourage you to complete all the work within the time frame, alongside the live webinar sessions).

I have a question about the live talks

What happens if I can't make a live talk/webinar?
All live talks will be available as recordings. You can access these at the same link used to access the live event. So don't worry if you can't attend a live webinar, a recording will be available for you to access through your programme within 24 hours of the live event finishing.
What software is required for the live talks?
We use a piece of software called BigMarker. It is a cloud based video hosting software. It requires no installations or downloads on your end, and will provide everything you need to join the live webinars through one simple link.
Will I be able to ask questions/do I have to have my microphone on?
You will have a chance to ask questions at the end of each webinar. These questions are typed out and then read to the presenter by the host of the live talk. There is no need to speak, and all student microphones will be muted for the duration of the live webinar.

I have a question about the certificate

You will receive a certificate on completion of your programme. It will be made available to download whenever your programme is marked as complete.

The student must be between the age of 16 - 18 to join the study program without an EHCP.

If the student has an EHCP they are able to enrol on the study programme until they are 25.

All students must have English or maths GCSEs below grade 4, however there is 1 exception.

For example:

If the student does not have an EHCP, and has both English and Maths grade 4  or above, they are unable to attend.

If they have Maths grade 4 but English grade 2, we can enrol them.

If they have an EHCP and have both maths and English grade 4 or above, we can enrol them.

This is due to the government's funding for placements with regards to functional skills. If they have grade 4's the government sees that they should be capable of completing a higher qualification than what we offer. With an EHCP we can exempt them from that requirement due to additional needs.

Our levels are Entry 3 and Level 1 While Lincoln College for example offers Level 2 and Level 3.

Providing their is space on a course we can enrol until around March of each year, providing the student is willing to complete extra hours (through sending work home or through attending an extra day) As each student has to complete a set number of hours each year in order to pass their course.

Most of the courses are practical work with photographic evidence to support their work, with coursework books on the side.

Once you've completed the EE Playmaker by England Football course, you will have the knowledge and skills to help a 'named coach' in youth football teams and/or a 'Lead Playmaker' on our participation programmes, with the delivery of football.

This means you can help them in making safe, fun and inclusive football happen, but you cannot lead football sessions yourself.

Please note: In most cases those working with children will require an In-date, FA-accepted DBS check and they will be subject to safer recruitment processes. A DBS check will depend on the eligibility requirements, e.g. individuals must be 16 or above to apply for a DBS check.

If you want to take on a leading role, but know that coaching isn't for you, there are some more steps you can complete to become eligible to apply for 'Lead Playmaker' roles in FA participation programmes.
