ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION

This programme will help with the digital skills divide and help support young & older people.We live & volunteer in an area with a large African Caribbean community. Many people speak of unmet social, educational , employment skills & wellbeing needs: lack of cohesion, belonging, social isolation, racism, lack of digital skills etc. We focus on increasing access to decent jobs, better services, and more secure livelihoods that help traditionally excluded people to participate fully.
