In November last year, Matt was asked by the Cambridgeshire Digital Partnership to lead a session on ‘Homelessness and Digital Exclusion‘, as part of their first conference. It was an opportunity to highlight how those experiencing homelessness can be further disadvantaged by lack of access or skills to fully engage with the digital world.
Matt began by setting the scene, using the words of our homeless neighbours to describe feelings of isolation, fear, disconnection, and how having access to the internet can help improve their personal situation.
