Digital inclusion team - Wigan Council
To build on the strengths of our communities by bringing together employees, residents, volunteers and partners to upskill the residents of our borough to embrace technologies, build confidence and community resilience.
In addition to the fundamental basic digital skills, we want to ensure that our residents are afforded the same opportunities to access groundbreaking technologies, in a fun and safe environment. Our commitment to these alternative technologies is more than just an investment in digital skills—it’s a strategic move towards improving health outcomes and reducing the financial strain on NHS and Council Services. This proactive “Invest to Save” approach is our answer to the pressing national discourse on adult social care funding. By championing these innovative technologies, we are crafting a future where digital inclusivity is not a mere aspiration but a tangible reality for all.
