Training: Older People and digital

An older woman using a mobile deviceBridging the digital divide isn’t just about technology—it’s about fostering a sense of inclusion, empowerment, and lifelong learning. Together, we can create a more digitally inclusive society!  

We recognise that the most effective way to reach digitally excluded communities is by collaborating with trusted organisations and their dedicated staff and volunteers.  

At Digital Communities Wales (DCW), we offer tailored advice and training to organisations working with older people. Our goal is to demonstrate how digital tools can positively impact their lives.  

By partnering with us, your organisation can empower older individuals to engage confidently with technology and the online world.
