Need help getting started with the internet? We can support you with the basics and help you feel more confident getting online.
Digital skills support
As the digital landscape continues to change, we want to make sure every Salford resident feels supported and confident when using digital technology. The Salford Skills and Work Team is committed to providing digital support to residents who feel digitally excluded or have low digital confidence.
Digital inclusion in Salford
We believe everyone should have the opportunity to benefit from being online. Digital inclusion means having the access, skills, confidence and support needed to participate in today's increasingly digital society. Our aim is to help residents overcome barriers and feel more independent and confident when using technology.
Find support near you
Digital support may be available through local community organisations, libraries, community centres and other services across Salford.
