The Access Foundation – the charitable arm of Loughborough-based business software specialist The Access Group – has approved £269,000 of funding to help some of the UK’s poorest young people access university tech courses.
The foundation was set up last year to support organisations in the UK, Europe and Asia-Pacific countries, which are focused on mitigating the digital divide through facilities and learning.
The foundation said only around half of UK households earning between £6,000 to £10,000 have home internet access, compared with 99 per cent of households with incomes above £40,000.
