Supporting communities across the country to tackle social and digital exclusion

Online Centres Foundation (OCF) was set up during 2011 with a vision to deliver large scale social action in thousands of local communities so everyone is part of a fully networked nation.

OCF is a staff-owned mutual and social enterprise which operates UK online centres. UK online centres co-ordinate a network of more than 3,800 centres across the country, including libraries, Housing Associations, community centres and schools, providing training and support to hundreds of volunteers and community leaders, helping them work within their own communities to tackle digital and social exclusion.
