<p>The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) does not run any digital inclusion programmes, rather we fund programmes run by other organisations in order to maximise the impact and achieve best value for money.</p><p>BIS is funding a £32 million, four year programme through UK online centres specifically to help more people develop the skills needed to use a computer and to get online safely and securely. This programme is running through to March 2014, and over this period, has helped over 1,250,000 people to use a computer and the internet.</p><p>UK online centres are located in the top 10% most deprived community wards in England and attract hard to reach adults (aged 19 to 100+) from the lowest socio-economic groups, many of whom do not traditionally engage in informal learning.</p><p>BIS is working alongside other Departments to support the Government Digital Service Digital Inclusion Team and has agreed to provide £100,000 per year over the next two years to support the cross Government activity in this area.</p><p>Finally the £210 million annual budget which BIS funds for Community Learning has been protected to</p><p>enable access to learning for those most disadvantaged including older learners and those on low incomes. In 2011/12 academic year, there were 108,260 Community Learning enrolments in Information and Communication Technology. This accounts for 10.4% of all Community Learning enrolments in the 2011/12 academic year.</p>
