Wiltshire Online is a project that aims improve access to broadband across the county and ensure everyone has the opportunity to become digitally literate and confident users of technology.
To help more people take advantage of new technology and the internet, the team is recruiting, supporting and developing a team of digital champion volunteers.
These will empower volunteers to work in their local communities and help local residents and businesses get online. Wiltshire Online is also offering help in community venues such as libraries, or in the comfort of someone’s own home. They are engaging with local schools to establish a culture of intergenerational working.
Melksham Pilot.
A six week pilot, running from 20 February until 2 April 2012 is due to start shortly. The team are currently recruiting volunteers. We are also working with Melksham Library to facilitate access to computers and working with Melksham Oak to run intergenerational support sessions at the school.
