Free Digital Skills Events Across Wandsworth: 9–13 March
Power to Connect is hosting a full week of friendly community sessions across Wandsworth from Monday 9 March to Friday 13 March, helping residents build confidence with technology and access vital online services.
Our programme supports digital inclusion by providing welcoming spaces where people can receive help with devices, learn practical online skills, and connect with trained volunteers. Many residents visit our sessions for guidance with everyday tasks such as setting up email accounts, accessing NHS services, applying for jobs online, or learning how to safely use smartphones and laptops.
Alongside one-to-one digital support, we also run structured digital skills courses and workshops that help people develop long-term confidence with technology. These sessions form part of our mission to ensure everyone has access to free digital skills training UK communities can rely on, regardless of experience level.
Our work also supports sustainability by refurbishing donated devices. Businesses and residents who donate laptops UK wide help ensure technology reaches families, schools, and community organisations that need it most.
Below is the full schedule of Power to Connect events taking place this week.
