Improving Digital Skills in Lancashire

Partnering with South Ribble Council, Active Lancashire launched a digital inclusion initiative aimed at breaking down barriers for adults facing limited access to technology. Working closely with the community, we focused on small groups of South Asian women, helping them gain the confidence and skills to navigate digital tools safely. 

Through in-person training and laptops provided during sessions, participants learned essential skills, from using email and browsing safely, to accessing services like healthcare, job applications, and government sites. Many had minimal prior experience, and some faced language barriers, but our tailored approach ensured they could participate fully, learn at their own pace, and engage confidently online.
