Delivering on a strategic plan to establish a new Digital Skills Partnership with key partners and stakeholders across the regions and joining up local and national digital skills activity.The aim of the Digital Skills Partnership is for the UK to be a world-leading digital economy that works for everyone, it is crucial that everyone has the digital skills they need to fully participate in society. We need to consider skills at all levels: the basic digital skills which support digital inclusion, the general digital skills that are increasingly needed for jobs in almost every sector and to get the most out of the digital economy and the advanced digital skills required for the growing number of specialist digital roles.The aim is to improve digital skills and capability levels across the skills spectrum, but government cannot do it alone. This is an opportunity for government to play an important role in convening public, private and third sector partners to deliver a more collaborative, coordinated and innovative approach to meeting the digital skills challenge.

It is run by husband and wife teams Charlie & Rich Burn and Amy & Aron Padley. After being friends for many years we decided to go into partnership together to show the brides of Dorset that choosing your wedding dress should be an exciting occasion. While Amy & Aron own our sister shop "Preloved Gowns", they have plenty of experience in dealing with brides and their needs. When they started thinking about expanding the business, we jumped at the opportunity to be a part of it. I've gained plenty of experience while helping them out and it seemed the perfect solution. After getting married in 2009, my wife knows exactly how daunting it can be when you first start looking for "the" dress. Our concept at Something New... is to keep everything relaxed. We want you to enjoy your shopping experience, which is why we do not take appointments. You can just pop along during our opening hours and try some dresses on. Amy & Charlie spent a long time researching and personally selecting the perfect suppliers in order to get the right dresses on our rails. Show less
