"We welcome @AuditScotland's report, published today, on Tackling Digital Exclusion, investigating the question: how well are public bodies tackling digital exclusion?
"The answer: A mixed bag. An incoherent picture. Room for improvement.
"The report shows that while government aims to save money through digital services, the burden of supporting people to use them often falls to local community organisations and charities, without resource or recognition."
In this blog, SCVO's @David_McNeill reflects on the impact of and support for #DigitalInclusion following Audit Scotland's latest report ⬇️

Audit Scotland published their report into Digital Exclusion in Scotland today. As someone who's been at the forefront of pushing this agenda for years it's disappointing to see that there isn't a more consistent drive from Scottish Government

1 in 6 people referred to our food banks have no internet.
That's 1 in 6 who can't access the internet to search for jobs, manage bills or keep in touch with family.
But we CAN change this - by updating our social security system so it covers the costs of the essentials. 💚
ALT A screenshot of an error page showing there is no internet. It reads "No internet. 1 in 6 people referred to our food banks have no internet access.

Brilliant start to #EdinburghFringe '24
@thekatebutch - could not have made me feel more joyful
Last night's @cryptidfactor - stunningly bonkers ♥️
@GrandmaShopPlay reminded me how extra ordinary every human being can be in so many small & kind ways.
Thankyou all 🫡🫡🫡

On the opinion pages this month - @Charlotte_Bray "A change is as good as a rest" – whether for a person or a country.
July's mag is available to all to read, share and enjoy here: okt.to/zqOPfR
We've got a great wee bank here in Porty. We have such a thriving high street it would be a shame to see this closed.
Save our local bank in #Portobello and stop the rot elsewhere too - Sign the Petition! chng.it/7gjGnLNq2Z via @UKChange
