If so, find out more about the Gloucestershire Digital Champions Network (part of the DIGI Partnership and funded by the NHS) and the upcoming launch event below!
About the networkThe Gloucestershire Digital Champion Network (GDCN) will be co-designed with all the people working to increase Digital Inclusion, with common goals of empowering communities, creating links between people and places, creating peer support opportunities and, importantly, rewarding hard work and sense of achievement. The aim is to create a nurturing, supportive peer network of people working to decrease the digital divide.
Organisational support
If you are an organisation hosting Digital Champions, the network can help you to assess skills and find areas for development for digital volunteers. The network will have access to Digital Champion accounts to provide training, along with a regular bulletin, containing stories of Digital Champions and tips and tricks to keep us all up to date in this swiftly evolving world. The network can support with volunteer processes including DBS and safeguarding and it’s all free for organisations and volunteers.
Online launch
The network is holiding their very first, online, launch event on Wednesday 12 March 2025 and are hoping to spread the word to all Digital Champions based in all Gloucestershire districts. You can book your place via the following link: Digital Champions Network launch tickets
