The evidence has long pointed to the benefits of VCSE activity in building social capital and quality public services in the locality but studies have also shown the VCSE sector is a late adopter of digital technology
The fact that the majority of VCSE organisations have not grasped the full benefits of digital technology affects their delivery. By putting in place measures to bridge this gap, the wider social value and impact of VCSE sector work can be safeguarded and maximised.
We ask the new Mayor to :
-
Embed the benefits of digital technology
-
Broaden and extend the GLA's digital inclusion strategy
-
Help ensure VCSE organisations are better connected
-
Use new digital tools and apps to support the engagement and mapping of VCSE networks
