Supporting Communities with Basic IT Skills

Active Lancashire is on a mission to promote healthy lifestyles and stronger communities, but we’ve also seen how digital exclusion can hold people back from work, education, and everyday services. 

To tackle this, we created a flexible basic IT skills e-learning course designed to be accessible, supportive, and practical. Learners gained confidence through real-life tasks, receive ongoing support and signposting. 

Our Rossendale Works team has been at the heart of this, helping learners, often groups attending yoga and wellbeing sessions, build digital skills alongside their personal development.  

What have we seen? Increased confidence, better access to services, and new opportunities for work and learning, all while strengthening community connections.
