Digital Solutions
Our Digital Solutions project provides digital solutions to improve quality of life by using mainstream technologies for people with learning disabilities living across Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan local authorities.
About our Digital Solutions project
The Digital Solutions project aims to bridge the digital gap for people with learning disabilities in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan.
We do this by finding everyday technology that can make a big difference in their lives.
Our digital team works together with individuals who might need some extra help using technology, and with professionals who support them.
We explore existing tech solutions that can increase independence, improve wellbeing, and overall quality of life.
This way, professionals can confidently recommend technology that is readily available.
Bridging the digital divide
We believe everyone deserves to be connected.
Our Digital Solutions Project works with local authorities in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan to reach vulnerable adults in healthcare and social care.
We offer direct support to individuals in these areas, and connect with others through partnerships with social care providers and our own community projects.
We also connect with vulnerable adults across the social care sector by collaborating with other social care providers and developing our own community projects.
92 per cent of our Insight app members say they feel digitally included.
The survey says...
Many adults we support have not used social media or the internet before.
That is why we created the Insight app!
Our Insight app is a safe social space for people to share their lives with family and care professionals through photos and messages.
The results speak for themselves:
- Almost all Insight app members feel digitally included.
- Over half of Insight members love the app’s community features, allowing them to connect with others and participate in online events.
- By March 2020, we had gifted devices to 275 people in Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan, helping bridge the digital divide.
