Digitober - digital support in Salford

October is Digitober, a month-long celebration of all things digital.

It’s an opportunity to celebrate the many ways technology can connect us, open up new opportunities and make everyday life easier. We want everyone to feel able to take part and benefit from the digital world.

Throughout Digitober, we’re celebrating digital inclusion and helping residents build their skills and confidence and improving their access to the digital world. Whether it’s learning something new, discovering useful online services or simply becoming more confident using digital devices, Digitober is all about celebrating the positive difference technology can make.
