Dear Steve Stevenson, Joe Bloggs has asked me to contact you about becoming a Race Online 2012 partner. It's hard to imagine business without the internet. Yet, according to a recent report by PwC there are over 10 million adults in the UK that have never used the internet, and worryingly 4 million of this group are also socially excluded. The report also estimates that the UK is missing out on £22 billion of benefit, both in terms of cost savings to businesses, as well as the personal benefit to the individuals concerned. Race Online 2012 aims to work with 10,000 partner organisations to help as many of the 10 million UK adults who have yet to experience the benefits of the internet to get online by 2012. It's essential to business that the UK is near 100% online as it creates efficiency savings, attracts investment, opens opportunities and improves work force skills. To assist businesses to play their part in creating a fully networked nation Race Online 2012 has created a partnership programme. We want all organisations of any size to get involved and help tackle the issue. From encouraging business partners to sign up, to teaching friends and family to get online, or by donating old IT equipment locally - there are opportunities for all businesses to make a difference. It's simple to sign up and it only takes five minutes to register. We are all better off when everyone is online, please register today and make your Digital Promise. Martha Lane Fox |
