IFB Gaming Digital Inclusion Toolkits
Funders & Partners Impact Overview
Overview
IFB Gaming develops digital inclusion toolkits designed to support people who are digitally excluded — including older adults, low-income households, refugees, and individuals with limited digital literacy.
Our approach combines structured learning, community delivery, and practical real-world pathways from first digital contact to independent digital confidence.
Sector Gap: Why Existing Toolkits Are Not Enough
Most digital inclusion resources currently available in the UK ecosystem are still designed as static PDF documents or downloadable guides. While useful as reference materials, this format presents structural limitations for digitally excluded users.
📄 PDF-Based Learning
Many existing toolkits are static PDFs that require downloading, reading, and self-navigation. This creates barriers for users with low digital confidence or limited device familiarity.
🔇 Low Interactivity
Most resources lack interactive learning pathways, meaning users are not guided step-by-step through practical digital actions.
🧭 No Learning Journey
Traditional toolkits often present information without progression levels or structured confidence-building stages.
📉 Limited Accessibility
Many resources do not include built-in audio, simplified navigation, or real-time support for low literacy or non-native English speakers.
IFB Gaming addresses this gap by moving from static documentation to a living, guided, and community-embedded digital learning system.
