Digital exclusion remains a real challenge, with 8 million people in the UK lacking basic digital skills.

At the West Yorkshire Combined Authority, we're tackling this head on - helping people build the skills, confidence and access they need through free digital support in their communities.

Working with local authorities and partners like Virgin Media O2 Business, we’re already seeing real impact:

• Improved access to healthcare and essential services
• Building skills so residents can access the right job opportunities for them
• Increased confidence through personalised support
• Better support available within local communities
