Renfrewshire’s Annual Digital Inclusion Impact Report

We’re starting to gather partner input for Renfrewshire’s Annual Digital Inclusion Impact Report, capturing the collective progress and impact during the 2025/26 financial year.
 
Despite continued progress, around 15% of adults in Scotland still face barriers to being online. This makes the work you do - supporting access, skills and confidence - more important than ever.
 
Taking part in this year’s report is a great opportunity to showcase your impact, contribute to a shared picture of digital inclusion across Renfrewshire, and help shape future planning, funding and policy.
 
By contributing, you’ll help us:

• Demonstrate collective impact in tackling digital exclusion
• Highlight good practice and innovation
• Strengthen partnership working
• Identify gaps and future opportunities

 
???? You can read last year’s Digital Inclusion Impact Report here.
 
We’d be grateful if you could complete a short online survey, reflecting your activities and impact covering the period 01 April 2025 – 31 March 2026.  I have a attached a PDF version to allow you to view the questions in advance before completing the online form.

The survey covers:

• Digital Skills, Confidence and Motivation
• Device Access
• Internet Access
• Inward Investment
