The importance of volunteers
We know that for many digital inclusion hubs, your brilliant volunteers are absolutely essential to supporting people to get online. Many volunteers will take on a digital champion role, helping people to gain digital skills and confidence in drop ins or group sessions, and others are key to helping people get set up with their free mobile data from the National Databank.
However, we’ve heard from hubs that you’ve been facing challenges getting started with your approach to digital champions, finding the right volunteers, and navigating safeguarding issues when they are supporting people.
That’s why we wanted to spotlight our upcoming training that has been designed and delivered with our ambassador hubs along with some great resources on the new network members area that you might find useful.
