Inclusion
Everyone deserves access to the digital world, whatever their starting point.
About Us
Human-centred technology, built with communities
We work to reduce digital exclusion across the East Midlands, the UK and — as we grow — internationally, building the skills, confidence and opportunity people need to thrive in a digital world.
“We do not offer a conventional information service. We are building a scalable digital social-impact platform that supports community engagement, education, entrepreneurship, volunteering, fundraising, partnerships, project delivery, international development and transparent measurement of social impact.”
Who we are
Creative-Edge Digital Conscious CIC is a Community Interest Company — a special form of UK social enterprise. A CIC is asset-locked, meaning its assets and profits must be used for the community's benefit and cannot be distributed for private gain.
A CIC trades to generate income for community benefit rather than private profit, sitting between the charity and commercial sectors: entrepreneurial in how it works, accountable in how it is regulated, and wholly dedicated to the community it serves.
Our mission
To reduce digital exclusion and build digital, AI and entrepreneurial capability in the communities we serve.
Our vision
A society where everyone can participate, innovate and thrive in a digital world.
