Digital Inclusion Scheme
What is digital inclusion?
Digital inclusion is about ensuring everyone has the opportunity to access and benefit from technology.
Unfortunately, not everyone has equal access to devices, connectivity, skills or confidence.
The DVLA Digital Inclusion Scheme helps address these challenges by supporting organisations and communities through technology reuse, partnership working and community engagement.
Supporting the UK Government Reuse for Good Charter
The DVLA Digital Inclusion Scheme supports the refurbishment and reuse of technology that can be redistributed to organisations and communities throughout Wales.
Working with our partners, we help ensure devices continue to make a positive impact long after their original use.
Since becoming signatories of the UK Government Reuse for Good Charter, we have donated 477 devices. (March 2026)

Digital inclusion in action
"I’m delighted Swansea is the first local authority to begin working with DVLA on the Digital Inclusion scheme as part of our commitment to making sure that all our schools and pupils have access to digital devices at home and at school.
Some pupils are already using the equipment and many more will benefit, so I’d like to thank DVLA for involving us in this great community initiative."
– Robert Stewart, Leader of Swansea Council
"This generous contribution will not only address this crucial need but also strengthen our collaboration with the DVLA. This marks a positive step forward and we are excited to celebrate more achievements and opportunities to work alongside the DVLA and create a stronger partnership to benefit the diverse young people in our communities."
– Ali Abdi, Lead Co-ordinator at National Minority Ethnic Youth Forum
