Get Online Week: Building Digital Confidence

People working in group

This October we are excited to take part in Get Online Week Swansea and Llanelli!

You may wonder what is Get Online Week?

Get Online Week Swansea and Llanelli is a digital inclusion campaign designed by the Good Things Foundation.

What does it do? It is to help people come to understanding of how to learn new digital skills and confidently get online.
