3. It really surprised me the very human difference having
digital skills has made…
A lady told me of her fear of the internet, her isolation and difficulty with mobility issues
making it impossible to eat a healthy diet as she was not able to get to the larger grocery
store.
Over a few months I helped her become familiar with technology. It was so fulfilling to
see how her life transformed! By the end she was ordering her grocery shopping to be
delivered, communicating with family continents away and positively excited about the
future!

13. United, proud and strong…
CILIP is talking to stakeholders and defending the importance of a
recognized, skilled profession.
But it is bigger than that – if we are a community – if we believe in
that hard won professional recognition – each of us must:
• Defend, protect, champion
• Celebrate
• Wear it with pride
• Tell people over and over again
