Good Things Foundation is a social change charity, helping people to improve their lives through digital connection. They tackle the most pressing social issues of our time, working with partners in thousands of communities across the UK and further afield.

Brought together by Good Things Foundation, the Online Centres Network is made up of thousands of grassroots organisations, all working to tackle digital and social exclusion by providing people with the skills and confidence they need to access digital technology.

The Care Leavers National Movement ran a very successful campaign on Digital Poverty. We continue to support this campaign by becoming a National Centre with The Good Things Foundation Online Centres Network, enabling us to provide SIM cards loaded with data, calls and texts to young people across House Projects.

Last year we celebrated our 5th Birthday and whilst this was a great opportunity to reflect on our collective and individual achievements, we soon set about setting our vision for the next 10 years, and the strategy to get us there. Increasing our reach to more young people both by spreading and diversifying in local authorities where there is already an existing Local House Project (LHP) and scaling to new LAs is key whilst at the same time improving our offer by acting on the insights of young people, colleagues and independent evaluations.
