Help scheme

What about others who might need extra help?

There may be people who are not eligible for the Help Scheme but who may still want some extra help through switchover.

On 18 February 2008, Digtal UK announced a £2.9m contract with Digital Outreach Ltd, a company set up by leading UK charities Age Concern England, Help the Aged, Community Service Volunteers and Collective Enterprises, a company specialising in working with the charity sector, to commission a range of support services from local and regional voluntary sector organisations and charities. Digital Outreach Ltd aims to assist older people who are under 75, those with sensory, mobility or dexterity impairments, people with learning disabilities and those who are socially isolated.

Digital UK’s voluntary sector network will also aim to offer tailored advice to all those who might face particular difficulties with switchover.
