What is Digital Inclusion?

Tackling challenges of digital inclusion for disabled people, by upskilling clients to have confidence using digital devices, build relationships with others by accessing community groups, courses, training and volunteering online. In turn will help clients feel more confident with communication, safety online, improve their health and wellbeing, especially those who struggle to get out due to disability or self-isolating.

Quotes from two of our clients who attended this course:

“This course has helped me to make new friends and be safe online on the websites and talking to people online and being safe spending money. I really enjoyed coming to the course and tell lots of my friends about it. The staff are really nice.”

“In the past 8 weeks in the sessions I have learnt lots of ICT skills and how to use Zoom because I didn’t know how to use it and my caring skills have come more, happy doing this course.”
