Join the Gloucestershire Digital Champions Network

Are you working in Gloucestershire to support people with digital skills? You may be working as a volunteer in a community setting to better use computers, phones and tablets, or as an employee in an organisation such as a medical surgery or a support service to increase visitors’ digital skills, confidence and accessibility. If so, find out more about the Gloucestershire Digital Champions Network (part of the DIGI Partnership and funded by the NHS).

About the networkThe Gloucestershire Digital Champion Network (GDCN) will be co-designed with all the people working to increase Digital Inclusion, with common goals of empowering communities, creating links between people and places, creating peer support opportunities and, importantly, rewarding hard work and sense of achievement. The aim is to create a nurturing, supportive peer network of people working to decrease the digital divide.

Organisational support

If you are an organisation hosting Digital Champions, the network can help you to assess skills and find areas for development for digital volunteers. The network will have access to Digital Champion accounts to provide training, along with a regular bulletin, containing stories of Digital Champions and tips and tricks to keep us all up to date in this swiftly evolving world. The network can support with volunteer processes including DBS and safeguarding and it’s all free for organisations and volunteers.
