“Our own Business Digital Index shows that SMEs and charities will benefit from increased Basic Digital Skills. We know that a big barrier is the perceived benefits of digital and that is one area we are keen to help SMEs and charities with - whether it’s saving money, increasing revenue or having better customer interaction. “Through our partnership with Go ON UK we want everyone in the community to share the benefits of the internet and help Britain prosper.” Lloyds Banking Group has committed to signing up at least 7,000 digital champions across Halifax and Lloyds Bank to help individuals better manage their businesses and lives and have the skills and confidence to benefit from digital services. Miguel-Ángel Rodríguez-Sola, Lloyds Banking Group Director for Digital, Marketing and Customer Development
