Get online Wrexham Flintshire, the project working to increase internet use amongst local people, is pleased to announce that its first cohort of digital champion volunteers has completed initial training.  Each member of the group is an asset to the project, working very well as a supportive team, showing great dedication and entertaining the facilitators throughout the two-day 'train the trainer' course.

Volunteers are vital to the project, delivering basic internet skills training to people throughout Wrexham and Flintshire. With around 32 percent of the local population having little or no experience of the internet, our champions are ready, able and eager to welcome learners into the online world, and allow them to experience its benefits first hand with an Absolute Beginners training course. The six-hour course is delivered over two or three sessions at libraries and centres across Wrexham and Flintshire.
