Our Digital Partners Network
The Network is a collaborative movement dedicated to unlocking our digital future and bridging the digital divide. By uniting local community venues, VCSE organisations, digital champions, and council teams, we work to ensure that every resident in Greater Manchester has access to the tools, skills, and support they need to thrive in an ever changing digital age.
Since January 2026, our digital champions have supported over 53 residents in Salford and 12 residents in Wigan.
We have supported 5 VCSE organisations across Greater Manchester (GM) by donating and setup of devices, SIM cards and much more..
We offer:
-
Free access to devices

One-to-one digital skills support

Device accessibility help
-
Cyber Security awareness advice
-
Connectivity help, including free mobile data
-
VCSE support to source and setup infrastructure capable to host digital learning
Pledge your support
Pledge your support to help fix the digital divide
You can pledge your support in various ways, such as donating or purchasing devices like laptops, tablets, mobile phones, provide safe spaces for training, or contributing to corporate social responsibility schemes through a volunteering scheme offering hours of support to our community online centres. Your support can transform lives. For example, a large digital screen can serve as a visual aid, enabling better training, while offering a meeting room for training allows us to reach more individuals.
