Digital Champion Volunteer (across the district)

Digital Kent's network is looking for more Digital Champions in the district to help those in the community who struggle with their digital skills and confidence! A Digital Champion does not need to be a technical guru, just someone who has basic digital skills and good communication skills and willingness to teach others who have little knowledge about technology. Being a Digital Champion is an exciting opportunity to meet new people and develop your own skills. Each Digital Champion can choose when they would like to start and how much time they would like to commit.

There is a variety of training available to give Digital Champions more confidence. Join Digital Kent's network today to do your part to support digital inclusion!

Health walk Volunteer

Would you like to help others improve their health and wellbeing simply by walking? Walking is a great way to get fitter, relax and lift your mood and following national Volunteers Week we’re seeking people who can give some of their free time to be walk leaders in both East and West Kent to guide small walking groups. As well as being friendly and, ideally, local, volunteer walk leaders have a few hours spare to help people of all ages and fitness levels to get moving and make new friends.
