Digital Inclusion
Support for people to get the help they need to access important digital services.
Our Digital Champions are peer volunteers who help people access online services and support those who struggle to use digital tools. Sessions are carried out at an agreed public or community venue.
We also work with community venues to set up Digital Hubs where the local community can access wifi and computers and arrange drop-ins sessions. We support community spaces to hold Digital Drop-in events where you can go to get help with your digital device, getting online and using the internet.
Your nearest Digital Hub – We aim to run our digital hubs as advertised but there are sometimes unforeseen circumstance for which we apologise in advance. View the latest poster.
Referrals – If you are supporting someone who might need digital support, please complete our Digital Referral Form so we can make sure we are meeting their needs when we arrange to meet them.
Our Digital Hubs receive funding and support from Gloucestershire County Council and NHS Clinical Commissioning Group Gloucestershire through the Digital Hubs project (gloucestershire-digital-hubs.co.uk).
Community spaces
We help organise drop-in sessions at community spaces such as Community Hubs or Independent Living Hubs across the district.
Digital Hubs
We can help access equipment and funding to set up a space where the community can come to use a computer and get online.
- Could you help people fill out an online form?
- Could you help someone reply to an email?
- Could you help someone chat in WhatsApp?
- Could you help people feel safe and secure online?
We can train you to work with people to help build their confidence in using digital technology in their everyday lives.

We work with local Town and Parish councils, Stroud District Council, Gloucestershire County Council and local groups such as Independence Trust, Alzheimer’s Society and NoSH (Network of Stroud Hubs). We also work in partnerships with similar organisations across the county, including FVAF, Gloucestershire Community Building Collective, GL11 and Brockworth Link.
