Digital Community Hubs

Welcome to Community Hubs!

The Community Hub Scheme aims to support local organisations that are already supporting their communities to help more people get online, stay connected, and access the services they need.

Community Hub are local, trusted spaces where residents can access digital support, build confidence, and stay connected. Digital Kent works with your organisation and trained Digital Champion volunteers to establish a strong, sustainable model that meets local needs. Our role is to lay the foundations - supporting setup, sharing resources, and building relationships - so the hub can thrive independently long-term.

What Our Partners Say


Speldhurst Parish Council - Langton's Cafe

_Employees - Logo 1

"After attending a webinar about Digital Champions, we felt it would be an excellent opportunity to support the local community by becoming part of the Digital Kent Community Hub network. By offering Langton's Cafe Sports & Community Hub, The Pavilion, Langton Green Recreation Ground as a venue for digital support workshops, we can make greater use of the building as a community resource while providing valuable assistance to residents.

To support this initiative, two Speldhurst Parish Council office workers have volunteered as Digital Champions and will help deliver digital support workshops from the venue under the guidance of a KCC Digital Champion Leader."
