The Digital Literacy Foundation focuses on building digital skills and confidence; working to close the digital divide and reduce social and economic exclusion.

They provide free one-on-one support by connecting you with a patient and skilled volunteer Tech Mate who will support you in your digital learning journey. Your Tech Mate can assist you on a phone, laptop or tablet and will give you a chance to learn about technology at your own pace in a relaxed environment.
