Discover Digital


Discover Digital is a collaboration of partners, funded through the UK Community Renewal Fund, who want to raise the bar of digital inclusion across Stoke-on-Trent.

We want to ensure that everyone can be supported and empowered to engage with the digital services they need.

Through training, and peer support from Digital Champions we will upskill digitally excluded people, of all ages, so they feel able and confident to access services, while peer researchers will help us truly understand the ongoing needs and ensure that those most in need of support have a say in what help they receive.

Your local community can get involved too. If you are a charity, community group or social enterprise working on Stoke-on-Trent with a great idea to increase digital inclusion you can apply for a grant to support your work.

For further details visit the Discover Digital website.

As part of this project, Staffordshire University are proud to be offering the following digital training opportunities.
