We’re helping customers to Get Connected

In addition to being a Digital Champion to help someone get online there are other ways to learn the wonders of the web. We’re working to encourage and help those who want to get online to find out where they can get started.

Thousands of locations across the UK provide free or low cost beginners computer courses and free access to the internet. With our nationwide network we can help you or someone you know to find a local venue to improve your digital skills.

Just ask a member of the branch team to help find a venue in your area. There are a range of different centres including libraries, community centres and learning centres that provide a variety of internet or training facilities.

BBC TV presenter and broadcaster Maggie Philbin is backing Get Connected: “Technology has come a long way in the last few years and for many people it is a way of life. It is staggering that there are 16 million people who are still not using the internet on a regular basis. It is important that we support those who either don’t have the access or don’t feel confident on the internet so that they can realise the benefits of the web.”
