Good Things Foundation’s annual digital inclusion campaign, Get Online Week, has been held every year since 2007. In Get Online Week, Good Things Foundation asks community partners to take action, helping to raise awareness of digital inclusion and advocate for everyone to be able to participate in our digital society
This year’s campaign, ‘Can’t get online, can’t get by’ takes place from 19 to 25 October 2026.
We know that organisations across Leeds provide a huge range of digital inclusion support, from digital drop-ins and one-to-one support to courses and group sessions. This Get Online Week want to better demonstrate the scale and scope of this activity across the city, and make it easier for people to find and access support.
If your organisation is running an activity during Get Online Week, please tell us about it by completing our short form and we will add your activities to the listings below.
