Digital champions & volunteers

Support family, friends or people in the community to enjoy all the benefits of digital skills.

Technical skills and knowledge are useful - but what makes a good Digital Champion or volunteer is the ability to listen, understand and be patient. You don't need to be an expert, you just have to be happy to look it up!

These resources will help you recruit, work with and retain volunteers to support people in your communities.
