Digital Divide Research
Achieve Foundation provides advice and information about how the use of smart phones, computers and other digital technologies can help drive social change and address inequality.
Digital skills range from basic skills such as those needed to carry out an internet search, to advanced technical skills required for specialised work. Basic digital skills are becoming a near-universal requirement for day-to-day life, including for communication, accessing services and employment.
While research suggests the number of people with basic digital skills has increased in recent years, concerns remain about those who lack them. Good Things Foundation has highlighted that digitally excluded people may experience negative impacts, including poorer health outcomes and social isolation.

Supporting Charities in Transition
Helping Charities Cease Operations Smoothly
At Achieve Foundation, we understand that ceasing operations can be a complex and emotional process for any charity. Our dedicated service provides comprehensive support to ensure that charities wind down their activities responsibly, transparently, and in full compliance with UK laws. We assist charities in managing their remaining assets, settling liabilities, and communicating effectively with stakeholders to ensure a seamless transition.
For more detailed information on how we can assist your charity during this time, please contact us or visit our dedicated page.
Expert Consultation and Guidance
Our team of experts offers tailored advice on the legal and administrative steps involved in ceasing operations. We help you navigate the requirements set forth by the Charities Act 2011 and the Insolvency Act 1986, ensuring all actions are compliant and documented. From understanding your governing document to finalising reports, we provide the guidance you need every step of the way.
Asset Management and Distribution
Proper management of remaining assets is crucial during the dissolution process. We assist in transferring assets to other charities with similar objectives or selling them responsibly. Our services ensure that all transactions are transparent and in accordance with legal requirements, maintaining the integrity of your charitable mission.
Stakeholder Communication
Clear and effective communication with beneficiaries, donors, and other stakeholders is essential during a charity’s transition. We help you craft and deliver messages that explain the closure process, asset distribution, and future implications. By keeping your stakeholders informed, we help preserve trust and support throughout the transition period.
