Our Drop-in is not just about smart phones, tablets, iPads, laptops, it's about connecting your local community face to face.

Our inclusive digital hub is more then simply offering a safe and secure environment for people to access the internet, it also acts a catalyst for fostering community ties that can lead to meaningful relationships both online and in person. To support this, we launched an engaging learning module inspired by the basics of journalism, enabling members to share details of community events, personal stories, articles, and features, while also advancing their digital skills. This approach is fundamental to empowering individuals, as the skills gained help build a sense of ownership within the community and encourage others to become digitally connected.
