Why We Do What We Do


We Are Digital (WAD) was founded in 2012 to help all organisations to support and enable all their customers to benefit from the life-changing impact of the Digital Revolution.

WAD is an exciting and fast-growing social-impact-driven company empowering people to enrich their lives and communities.

At the core of everything we do is to create a positive impact on how people live their lives.

Our vision is for everyone to have easy access to the digital services, advice, and support that they need to confidently live their lives to the full.

We empower the community by providing the mechanism through which the national support services can be run impactfully. We enable full-service training, advice, and support wherever and however people need it to be delivered

We deliver positive and practical solutions to break down the barriers of exclusion.

We do this by equipping people with the skills to alleviate digital, financial, and social isolation, through our nationwide network of delivery partners, underpinned by centralised project management expertise to seamlessly deliver and manage all elements of a successful community investment programme.


We partner with corporates, central government, social housing providers, and local authorities to deliver positive and practical out-of-the-box training interventions, tailored solutions, and ground-breaking new work.


Our programmes typically target those who need support getting online (Digital Inclusion), help with managing their money better (Financial Wellbeing), transacting online with the government (Assisted Digital), and ending digital poverty by supplying everything people need at the point of need (digital support) and finding digital skills work (Employability).

Our fast-growing company is a place for career-hungry purpose-led individuals. As the company grows, we will create even more impact and your career will grow too.
