"They made us feel relaxed with a chat at the beginning, and they found out what I needed to know. I feel I will retain things better that way because I was more relaxed to begin with, and felt like I'd made a friend!" Earlier this week, our Digital Inclusion Champions hosted an event with the Grassmarket Community Project charity and the Tap Into IT charity as part of Volunteer Week to help community members build and increase their confidence in essential digital skills. Feedback like this from community members highlights why sessions like this matter. It's more than just building capability when it comes to technology, it's about fostering inclusive environments where people feel heard and listened to. Events like these highlight the difference we can make by sharing our time, skills and spaces with the communities around us. #VolunteerWeek #ForTheLifeWeLive
