Digital Companion

Hambleton Community Action’s ‘UpFront about Digital’ is a digital skills programme which aims to build digital confidence and provide technical help to our clients, supporting their health and well-being or even assisting them to gain employment. 

We regularly get asked to help our clients to use their computers, smart phones and tablets or help them with setting up email accounts, setting up apps and applying for blue badges and bus passes. Clients can be given access to laptops, tablets and interactive voice assistants.

Digital Companions will provide support through either a weekly digital drop in, home visits or short digital training sessions.
