The National Information Forum is a voluntary organisation committed to making information more accessible for disabled people, older people and others who have difficulty in getting it. The Forum is made up of individual members and representatives of voluntary and statutory organisations. The Forum is involved in the following activities:

• Offering guidance to anyone and everyone who can provide information to socially excluded people.
• Seeking to improve information standards.
• Publishing Innovations in Information, a e-mail magazine that shares practical initiatives to improve access to information.
• Identifying groups of people missing out on information.
• Determining their information needs and the reasons why information fails to get through to them.
• Devising ways to overcome those barriers and meet those needs.
• Providing simplified signpost guidance to sources of advice information and help.
