Digital inclusion has a new home in government. A remit is a direction, not a device, and the devices that could help already exist.

Reconome partnered with 100% Digital Leeds to host Demystifying Devices, a webinar focused on one of the most persistent challenges in digital inclusion: understanding what devices people actually need, how they’re accessed, and how organisations can respond more effectively.
The session was led by Dave Williams, Director at Reconome, and Amy Hearn, Digital Inclusion Manager at 100% Digital Leeds. Together, they shared practical insights drawn from their work supporting organisations, communities, and local initiatives tackling digital exclusion on the ground. The discussion explored real-world barriers to access, alongside collaborative approaches to delivering more inclusive outcomes.
This webinar is supported by a standalone, in-depth resource that expands on the themes discussed and provides practical guidance for organisations.
