Digital Fridays are designed to help you with accessing the internet using a phone, computer, laptop or tablet. The sessions also cover advice on staying safe online.
If you want, you can bring your own laptop or tablet along to the session but if it’s easier you can use the free computers that are provided. You’ll be shown how to connect to the free Wi-Fi at your Digital Fridays location.
