Rural Digital Learners
Connecting Hertfordshire – safely and confidently
What is Digital Inclusion?
Digital Inclusion helps local people, communities, and organisations gain the skills and confidence to get online, use digital tools, and stay safe.
CDA Herts runs friendly, practical Digital Learner Drop-in Sessions in village halls across Hertfordshire. The project is funded by Clarion Futures and the Herts and West Essex ICB, and supported by trained local Digital Champions and Digi-Buddies.
Residents in villages including Little Hadham, Datchworth, Benington, Tewin, Ickleford, and Aston have benefited from free, community-based sessions covering everyday online tasks.
What we do
