Go On UK launched

With the Race Online 2012 campaign comes to an end, the UK digital champion Martha Lane Fox has launches Go On UK, which aims to bring the benefits of the internet to organisations and commit to improving the digital capability of charities through the sharing of expertise and resources.

The founding partners of the organisation, Age UK, BBC, Big Lottery Fund, E.On, Lloyds Banking Group, Post Office Ltd and Talk Talk, have committed to covering the costs of the new organisation for the next three years. Lane Fox will chair the new organisation and executives from the partner organisations, including Age UK Chief Executive Tom Wright and Big Lottery Fund Chief Executive Peter Wanless, will sit on the board and develop a national plan for the next 18 months by September 2012 and a longer term vision for 2020.
