Being digitally connected is essential in everyday life.

From using the internet to access healthcare, education and jobs, to staying in touch with friends and family, digital connectivity is now a vital utility – not a luxury.

But we know that not everyone has the skills, confidence or resources to make the most of digital technology. That’s where we can help.

What support is available?

Everyone should be able to get online confidently and safely. Whether you’re looking for help yourself, supporting someone else, or exploring ways your organisation can get involved, this page guides you to the right support quickly and clearly.

Getting online should be simple. Whether you want to build your digital skills, access the internet, learn how to use a digital device, improve your home broadband, check mobile signal, or find trusted local support, this section brings everything together in one place. You’ll find practical guidance, links to trusted national organisations, ready‑to‑use materials, and information about local Digital Hubs where support is delivered

If you’re helping someone else to use the internet – as a volunteer, professional or simply as a friend or relative – this section gives you the tools, tips and resources to support them confidently. You’ll find practical guidance, links to trusted national organisations, ready‑to‑use materials, and information about local Digital Hubs where support is delivered – all designed to make it easier for you to signpost others to safe, reliable help.

Businesses, partners and organisations across Cambridgeshire play a vital role in building a more digitally inclusive county. This section explains our digital inclusion work, the difference it makes, and the ways you can collaborate with us – from device donation and repurposing, to joining digital inclusion partnerships, contributing skills, or supporting local projects. It also showcases our shared impact through real stories and data.
