Get Online Week is Good Things Foundation’s annual digital inclusion campaign focused on enabling people to discover the benefits of being online, and to build their confidence in using the internet – reducing the digital divide.
Get Online Week runs from the 20th – 26th of October 2025 and the theme this year is to try one new thing! The Digital Inclusion team will be hosting two public events, one in Central Library and one in Gorton Hub.
Tuesday 21st of October at Central Library
Central Library will be buzzing with activity on Tuesday between 1pm and 4pm, with a 3D printing demonstration, the opportunity to explore your family history online and a marketplace of stalls providing a wealth of digital inclusion support and knowledge.
