Digital Confidence Denbighshire

Denbighshire Libraries in partnership with Cwmpas are hosting several Digital Confidence Sessions at their Libraries. This project, which is funded through the Shared Prosperity Fund, is actively increasing levels of digital inclusion in Denbighshire. The aim is to break down barriers hindering residents from engaging in employment and education by offering them a suite of direct digital inclusion interventions.

This initiative is benefiting individuals in Denbighshire who find themselves digitally excluded due to factors such as:

  • Skills and Basic Digital Literacy
  • Financial Constraints: Addressing poverty-related challenges, including the inability to afford access to technology, hindering online interactions with services like banking and energy suppliers.
  • Geographic Limitations: Tackling issues arising from limited or no 4G or broadband connectivity.
  • Healthcare Access
  • Social Isolation and Loneliness

We offer a range of drop-in sessions, workshops, and essential skills courses. Recent delivery has included sessions on online safety, shopping safely online, history and reminiscence, job-seeking, online health and wellbeing resources, basic tablet and computer familiarisation and social media awareness.

Together, let’s build a digitally inclusive Denbighshire.
