Christmas Cheer at Wavemaker: Reflecting on a Year of Digital Impact

As the festive season approaches, we at Wavemaker want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible impact we’ve made together throughout the year. From helping people unlock digital skills to bridging the digital divide in communities, it’s been a year full of achievements, smiles, and connections.
Dec 20

This year, our projects have touched so many lives:

Workshops and Training

Over 2,000 workshops on more than 40 topics, engaging over 4,000 people in life-changing digital skills

Digital Devices for Inclusion

Providing Amazon Echos to combat social isolation and promote independence, alongside Chromebooks to job seekers to boost their employment prospects.

Digital Champions

Through our Digital Champion Programme, we’ve empowered individuals across community, health, and public sectors to bring digital skills to the heart of their settings.
None of this would have been possible without the UK Shared Prosperity Fund for providing opportunities to upskill and empower digitally excluded people — opening doors to brighter futures. A huge thank you also goes to Stoke-on-Trent City Council, whose partnership continues to drive our shared vision of digital inclusion.

A special shoutout to our amazing delivery partners — Raparu, Framescape, and The Inspirational Learning Group — for your dedication and expertise. Your collaboration has made a profound impact on the communities we serve.

To spread some festive cheer, we’ve created a Christmas song to see the year out! We hope it brings a smile to your face as you deck the halls or sip on a warm cuppa.

Looking ahead, we’re excited to continue our mission into 2025, expanding our reach and driving digital inclusion even further. With new projects on the horizon, we remain dedicated to empowering individuals and communities with the tools and confidence they need to thrive in a digital world.

Thank you to everyone who’s supported us this year — from participants in our workshops to partners and funders who make our work possible. You are the reason Wavemaker continues to grow and inspire.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a digitally connected New Year!
