Often people want to use digital services but struggle either due to lack of confidence, skills or access to the technology and connectivity to enable it.
As a landlord there are things we can do to help but we are not experts in digital services, so we've found or partnered with organisations who are, and create a resource hub to make it easier for customers to access services.
There are lots of hubs available within local communities, which offer free internet access, training and courses. We've created a handy map so you can find the nearest hub to you.
Liverpool City Region have created a detailed map of Hubs in the LCR, which you can find here.
Cheshire East have created a local resource hub of information for those who live in the area, which you can find here.
In today's digital age, access to technology is more crucial than ever. From online education to remote work opportunities, having a computer and internet access can significantly impact a person's ability to thrive in different aspects of life. However, for many, the cost of IT devices and internet services can be out of reach.
At Plus Dane, we believe that everyone should have access to the tools they need to succeed in the digital world. That's why we're dedicated to providing you with information and resources about digital services and affordable IT equipment.
Plus Dane are working with likeminded organisations to recycle our old laptops, mobile phones and tablets and distribute this refurbished equipment to our communities - whether direct to our customers or through local groups and charities.
Have a look at the list below of some local organisations that offer support and equipment so you can get online:
