We still provide consultancy, programme design, and local face to face workshops where partners need them, but our mission is national.

We want digital confidence to be available to everyone, everywhere.
We also advocate for the safe, responsible, and balanced use of technology.

We champion digital wellbeing, highlight the impact of tech on mental health, and support parents and young people to navigate the digital world in a healthy way.
