How Volunteering in Digital Education Can Boost Your Career

Learning at a very old age
"After my husband passed, I felt so alone and the world seemed to move online without me. I couldn't video call my grandchildren or order my prescriptions. Coming to Digital Start was daunting, but the patience of the tutors changed everything. They didn't make me feel silly for not knowing. Now I email, shop online, and I even had my first Zoom birthday party! It's given me my confidence and independence back."Mair Evans

"As a single parent, every penny counts. I couldn't afford internet access at home, and job applications are all online now. I was stuck. Digital Start gave me a safe space to use their computers and the internet for free. A volunteer helped me build a CV and apply for jobs online. I start my new admin role next week. This isn't just about computers; it's about opportunity."Jason Lloyd

"As a local food bank, we saw our clients struggling to access the very support services designed to help them because they were all digital-by-default. Our partnership with Digital Start CIC has been transformative. They provide us with simple guides for our volunteers and a direct referral pathway for our clients to get the digital skills they need. They are a vital piece of the community support puzzle."Sarah Griffiths
