We think it’s very important that everyone has the opportunity to improve their digital skills.
The internet is an essential tool for job searching, everyday tasks and staying social. We’re giving away free laptops and tablet to residents who need support to get online.
We’re also pairing residents up with our Digital Champions who support them to use the device and navigate the internet. If you are someone you know would benefit from receiving a digital device get in contact by emailing digital.champions@phoenixch.org.uk or giving us a call on 0800 0285 700.
Find out more about the scheme and residents who have already received a device.
We offer a range of digital sessions at The Green Man to help you get online and make the most of your technology. Look out for information in our news and events sections.
We're also keen to hear from residents interested in becoming digital champions and helping others become more tech savvy. If you would like to help out, please contact us.
