Digital Outreach Ltd

Digital Outreach Ltd, primarily targets people who are not eligible for assistance under the Switchover Help Scheme, but may benefit from extra information and advice. Digital Outreach Ltd works closely with the Switchover Help Scheme (with eaga) and Digital UK to provide impartial information on what people need to do to prepare for the switch to digital TV, and when they need to do it. Digital Outreach mobilises local charities in each transmitter area, giving them the resources to support their local communities through switchover by:

• Distributing information and advice materials to local charities and their clients in the period before switchover
• Providing switchover training for local charity staff and volunteers
• Integrating switchover information and advice into relevant local voluntary and community sector activities and into existing home visits when appropriate
• Organising meetings and events in the period before switchover and drop-in sessions at the time of switchover
