People’s Partnership is partnering with the digital inclusion charity Good Things Foundation.
The pension provider will support the charity’s free online learning platform and will co-develop a new module. This is is aimed at helping low income and digitally-excluded adults built the skills and confidence they need to manage their money online.
The collaboration also includes a digital journey audit and a series of webinars delivered through the National Digital Inclusion Network.
People’s Pensions says this announcement marks a significant step, as it seeks to bring its financial expertise into the social sector — to reach those often excluded from both digital access and financial planning.
Good Things Foundation group chief executive Helen Milner says: “This partnership is about breaking down the barriers that stop people from engaging with their financial future.
“By combining our skills in digital inclusion with People’s Partnership’s pensions expertise, we’re empowering low-income and vulnerable adults — many of whom are digitally excluded — to take control of their financial future.”
People’s Partnership head of responsible business Nicola Sinclair adds: “As a pension provider we’re committed to helping our seven million members build financial foundations for life, and financial wellbeing forms a central part of this. We believe that everyone deserves access to tools and knowledge to enable them to plan for their future.
“At the heart of both organisations there is a clear commitment to inclusion, and that means making sure no one is left behind in the digital age.”
