Social reflections

A new app aims to stimulate fresh social connections that inspire improvements in emotional health and wellbeing among disadvantaged and isolated people.

Stronger connections
A new digital tool to help people to improve their sense of wellbeing is being developed by the RSA, a prominent think tank, with funding from Nominet Trust.

The Social Mirror app will enable users to measure, visualise and positively change their social connections, helping them to take action to improve their health and wellbeing and to enhance potential feelings of ‘community’.

Creating digital citizens

SLLP set to inspire individuals to get involved in decision-making and social action for their communities

A new project to deliver innovative information technology learning to local residents in Surrey is aiming to create an army of ‘digital citizens’.

With our investment, Surrey Lifelong Learning Partnership is launching a three-year project to enable approximately 1,000 local residents who have low qualifications, are out of work or are vulnerable in some way to benefit from the internet, social networking and computers in general. It is hoped the project will help to create ‘digital citizens’ with enhanced employability and life chances.
