<p><font face="FSAlbert">Having access to the internet is now an essential service. One of the important benefits that it can offer is the opportunity to engage with a wide range of local, national and international news content. But a fifth of UK households remain offline – and it is often those who could gain the most from internet access who are the least likely to be connected.</font></p>
<p><font face="FSAlbert">Making Digital Real sets out 7 Digital Participation Tests that local authorities, housing providers and other public, voluntary and community organisations can use to help plan their activities to support more people to gain access to the internet. The report also provides Case Studies of successful digital participation initiatives in Liverpool, Leeds, Glasgow, Sunderland, Wiltshire and Fife, illustrating a wide range of different approaches that can be used to tackle digital exclusion. <br>
