Digital Divide - Walsall

Bridging the Digital Divide in Walsall

Many people in our communities are missing out on opportunities because they don’t feel confident using digital tools. Whether it’s setting up a Universal Credit account, managing bills online, searching for work or simply learning how to use a computer or smartphone – we’re here to help.

YMCA’s Digital Divide project, funded by the West Midlands Combined Authority, is designed to support anyone in Walsall who needs help building their digital skills and confidence. Our free sessions are open to anyone in Walsall who feels they need extra help or guidance to get online, manage digital tasks, or build their confidence using technology. There’s no need to book for our weekly drop-ins, just come along.
