At Power to Connect, we’re committed to improving digital inclusion across Wandsworth by offering accessible, friendly and practical support for families. This November, we’re excited to launch a FREE 4-week Family Online Safety Course designed to help parents and carers feel more confident using technology and keeping children safe online.
Whether you’re completely new to digital devices or you already use technology every day, this course is a welcoming space to learn essential skills at your own pace.
📍 Where and When
Location: Roehampton Family Hub, 166 Roehampton Lane, SW15 4HR
Dates: Fridays, 14 November – 5 December
Time: 10:00am – 12:00pm
This course forms part of our wider programme of digital literacy courses UK-wide and complements our regular digital skills courses delivered at local venues including Battersea Library, Southfields Library, and other Wandsworth library locations.
What You’ll Learn
Across four friendly sessions, our Digital Champions will support you with:
- Understanding online safety for children and teens
- Managing screen time
- Setting up parental controls
- Recognising scams and harmful content
- Building everyday digital confidence
This is a basic IT skills course (free), suitable for complete beginners. No previous experience needed and devices are provided if you don’t have your own.
Free Refurbished Chromebook for Every Participant
Everyone who completes the course will receive a free refurbished Chromebook to take home. This supports our mission to reduce e-waste and provide greater access to digital learning tools.
All Chromebooks are securely wiped and professionally restored by our computer recycling charity team of volunteers. These devices come from members of the community who donate laptops, local businesses looking to recycle responsibly, and partners who support our work.
If you’ve ever wondered “where can I recycle computers near me?” — Power to Connect is your local, trusted option for laptops for charity, recycling electrical items, and reducing digital inequality at the same time.
Why This Course Matters
Families across Wandsworth are navigating more technology than ever before. From schoolwork to socialising, online life plays a huge role in children’s development — and understanding how to keep them safe is essential.
This course also links to our ongoing community work:
- Providing free digital skills training in London
- Supporting volunteers through new opportunities in Wandsworth
- Delivering refurbished devices to families who need them
- Expanding digital access through libraries, schools, and community hubs
