'Get Online Week' 18th To 24th October

This year’s Get online week takes place from 18 to 24 October, and aims to get tens of thousands of people started with computers and the internet for the first time. The campaign – from UK online centres – is backed by UK Digital Champion Martha Lane Fox and Race Online 2012 partners including the BBC, the Post Office and mobile network Three. With more than 3,000 events and nationwide publicity, it’s set to be bigger and better than ever. Get online week is a great chance to get residents and communities together. Tenants get to learn how to save time, hassle and money - becoming more effective in the job market, while landlords can develop their services, improve choice and engage residents more effectively. What’s more, Get online week is completely free, with all the information and advice you need to run an event or to promote events to your residents. Further information about running your own event and a marketing toolkit for the campaign can be found online at the Online Centres website.
