Just Economics was commissioned by BT to carry out an SROI evaluation of BT’s digital skills programme aimed at older people and people living in remote locations.

As a companion paper to the Get IT Together evaluation, this paper places an economic value on being ‘digitally included’. Adopting a ‘bottom up’ approach, the paper uses the findings of the Get IT Together evaluation to explore the difference that becoming digitally included makes to an individual and uses economic valuation techniques to monetise these changes.
Just Economics undertook an SROI analysis of the work undertaken by UK Online Centres to promote digital inclusion. UK Online Centres is a network of local organisations that approach digital skills training as part of their wider community development work. This study assessed the impact of training using the the Learn My Way platform developed by the Good Things Foundation.
