New weekly digital skills sessions at Gorton Hub

Every Thursday, we’ll host these free drop-ins, designed to help you build your digital skills in a relaxed and friendly setting. 

The sessions are run by Starting Point Community Learning Partnership, a local social enterprise that’s been helping people across Greater Manchester get to grips with the digital world, no matter their age or experience.

Everyone is welcome! Whether you’ve never used the internet before or just want to brush up on your skills, these sessions are a great way to learn at your own pace, with no pressure and no jargon.

These informal drop-in sessions are all about you, what you want to learn, and how you want to learn it. The friendly team from Starting Point will be there to guide you through anything you’d like to learn more about.

You can bring your own device (like a smartphone, tablet or laptop), or borrow one of the devices provided. No question is too small, and you’ll never be rushed.

We’ll help you build the skills to:

• Stay connected – Make video calls, send messages, and use social media to keep in touch with loved ones.
• Stay safe online – We’ll help you learn how to spot scams, protect your personal info, and browse with confidence.
• Manage your One Manchester account – We’ll show you how to log in, check your rent balance, report repairs and more.
• Get the most from your device – From setting up and email account to finding your photos, we can help you get more out of your phone or laptop.
• Get more money savvy – Learn how to use the internet to compare prices, find deals, and manage your money online.
• Use helpful apps – From booking GP appointments to ordering groceries, we’ll show you apps that could make your life easier.

And if you’re not sure where to start, that’s okay! We’ll meet you where you are.

Give us a call on 0330 355 1000 or fill in our contact us form and we’ll get back to you.

We can’t wait to see you there!
