Our Mission

We believe everyone should have the chance to be part of the digital world, and we're committed to making digital inclusion possible for all.

Our team

We’re the Assistive Technology and Digital Divide team – a small, committed group working to make digital tools and spaces more inclusive and accessible to everyone. We focus on removing barriers that exclude people, especially those with disabilities or limited access to technology. Our aim is simple: to help create a fairer digital world where no one is left out.

MCS – closing the digital divide

At Millennium Community Solutions, we have taken real steps to close the digital divide and support underserved communities. Many families in the UK are still struggling to recover from the pandemic, now facing rising living costs. The unemployed, elderly or individuals with special needs or disabilities are also being left behind without access to digital and online technology.

We believe everyone should have the chance to be part of the digital world, and we are committed to making digital inclusion possible for all. Our mission is to bridge the gap and ensure that no one is left behind in the digital age.
