Digital inclusion
We aim to increase digital access in our communities, opening a range of opportunities for our customers.
From online savings to jobs and training
The internet is a great tool for our customers and can help with finding employment, gaining new qualifications and skills as well as helping to cut energy and shopping bills and using online accounts.
A study carried out by GHA showed tenants saved on average £187 by using internet shopping.
