Digitall has now come to an end but if you're aged 18-25 and would like to be a volunteer mentor, we have a new project Parents First which you might be interested in. You'll mentor a disadvantaged parent, supporting them to get online so they can play a more active role in their child's development. Find out more
About us
Digitall is one of the mentoring projects that we run at TimeBank. TimeBank is a national volunteering charity. We want to make volunteering part of the fabric of everyday life and a rewarding experience for everyone involved. We make it easy for people to find opportunities that suit their skills and lifestyle and we are always looking for new ways to tackle social issues through volunteering.
Digitall is one of our projects which aims to tackle digital inclusion. There are over 12 million people who are not online in the UK. We’re helping to halve that number by 2012 – and as a Digitall volunteer you’ll be part of making that happen. Find out how we’re tackling digital inclusion.
