Councillor Zona Hannington, Telford & Wrekin Council’s Cabinet Member for Finance, Governance and Customer Services, said:

“As society increasingly moves online, the ability to navigate digital platforms has become crucial. However, many residents may find themselves at a disadvantage due to a lack of access, skills, or understanding of digital technologies. These free drop-in sessions aim to address these challenges by offering tailored support to help individuals confidently engage with the digital world.

“It’s essential that everyone has the opportunity to develop their digital skills and confidence, so our Digital Skills drop-in sessions, delivered by staff and volunteers, are a vital step towards ensuring that no one in our community is left behind."
