Thank you once again to all of you for your hard work at the National Digital Inclusion Conference 2010 for coming up with our great collective promises.

To make sure we now follow up all that enthusiasm, we would like to urge all of you to make your ‘Digital Promise' as part of Race Online 2012 - the landmark challenge led by the UK's Digital Champion Martha Lane Fox, and to take part in the ‘Pass IT on' initiative.

We know that many of you are already leading innovative, inspirational and educational Digital Inclusion projects of your own - this automatically entitles you to become a partner of Race Online 2012 and access the online Race Online 2012 partner toolkits which include a Race Online 2012 certificate, online media and communication materials to help you promote your initiatives and spread the word, plus access to the Race Online 2012 web news feed offering 24/7 digital inclusion news updates.

Please click on this link http://raceonline2012.org/get-involved to become an official Race Online 2012 partner, where you can explain what your organisation is doing or can do to help make the UK one of the first countries in the world to establish a fully online, internet enabled society.

Please see full details and links below - have fun!

Get involved and become a Race Online 2012 Partner 
Race Online 2012 has one proposed mission - to create life enhancing opportunities for the 4 million adults in the UK who have never been online. There is both a moral and economic imperative for the wider community to take the issue of digital inclusion much for seriously. It's also essential to business that the UK is near 100% online as this will create efficiency savings, attract investment, open opportunities and improve work force skills.

Race Online 2012 wants any organisation of any size to get involved and help tackle the issue. From encouraging business partners to sign up, to teaching friends and family to get online, or by donating old IT equipment locally - there are opportunities for all businesses to make a difference. It's simple to sign up and it only takes five minutes to register.

Don't forget to ‘Pass IT on' 
We are delighted to inform you that UK online centres has recently partnered with Race Online 2012 to launch Pass IT on as a way of helping people who are already online to convince someone they know to get online too.

For most of us being online is part of our daily lives, saving us time, hassle and money. However, one in three adults in England still aren't online and don't know where to turn to get started.

If this sounds like someone you know and you'd like to help them, Pass IT on gives you a hassle-free way of supporting a loved one to get online. Please visit www.helppassiton.co.uk

We do hope that you will be able to support these two campaigns and we look forward to being in touch with you

Yours sincerely
