In 2007, UK online centres first marked out a date in October to bring digital inclusion to national attention.
Since then the campaign has grown into a week-long annual celebration, with thousands of events taking place each year in centres and more unusual locations, bringing digital skills and know-how to everyone.
This was due to the natural growth of the campaign and previous feedback that a day wasn't enough time to fit in all the activities that were arranged.
Partners also hold their own events or direct people to one of the 3,800 UK online centres which are situated around England.
