We can help you learn how to do things online, even if you do not have access to the internet at home.
If you do not have access to the internet at home, you may be able to borrow a device and data from the Digiknow Device Library in Stockport for free. You can also purchase a refurbished device at a lower cost. This all comes with information from a Digital Champion about getting online.
Call the DigiKnow Helpline on 07724 217888 to book a class or get support over the phone.
