Digital Den
This scheme is complete!
Located at the Wood Lane Community Centre in West Bromwich, the Digital Den project launched in August 2022, welcoming its first group of learners to the new training room and becoming the first Sandwell Towns Fund project to complete.
The project invests in the infrastructure to establish affordable digital services for communities and create pathways to opportunities to education, training and employment through accredited online training courses, careers guidance, and provides children with online educational resources to ensure opportunities for learning are always accessible. The overall aim is to reduce digital exclusion and in doing so, reduce financial exclusion.
Wendy Brookfield, Chief Executive Officer for Greets Green Community Enterprises, said: This new local resource will be a vital link for many residents going forwards. The challenges faced by people who are becoming more digitally excluded affects all generations. Having a resource that can be flexible to provide structured training, local access and sessions to reduce community isolation are what this project has been all about.
It is fantastic to be in the position where we can start making that real difference.”
