We have one of the largest networks of digital champion volunteers from organisations, businesses and the community to support our ambition to charge up the digital skills of our communities across Kent.
This project aims to upskill residents aged 13 and over and promote local businesses in Kent by providing an online platform to showcase local employers and develop employability skills. We are only open for Business to sign up and will be open for residents soon.

Digital Energy Support helps Kent residents build the confidence, skills and access they need to manage their energy use in an increasingly digital world. We can help support with:
- Ways to save energy and money in your home.
- Advice on energy tariffs and suppliers.

Our Digital Hubs are spaces where residents can go to get support from one of our team or one of our Digital Champions. To get digital support and learn new digital skills, residents can book onto one of the sessions being held in a Hub.
