THE MP for South Swindon s efforts to tackle loneliness among the vulnerable has made progress in his campaign. Robert Buckland wrote to Baroness Barran on behalf of the HF Trust to ask what is being done to help people with learning disabilities or without internet access to connect with others online. He said: Throughout the Covid pandemic, the ability to connect online has been a lifeline for many people, supporting them to maintain important connections with friends, family and colleagues. But many people, including those with learning disabilities, face barriers to digital connectivity as a result of the lack of access to mobile technology and the internet, as well as a lack of skills and confidence.
