TechBuddy NI

Helping communities reconnect through technology

Digital inclusion is about more than devices. It is about confidence, independence, access to services and staying connected to the people who matter.

A community technology workshop
Community first

Practical support where people already feel comfortable

We want to work with community groups, halls, charities, libraries, housing organisations and local partners to reach people who may not ask for help online.

Our future programme will focus on useful, welcoming sessions rather than formal computer classes.

Future initiatives
