About us

Digitall

Everyone at TimeBank is driven by the belief that it should be easy to do something positive with your spare time. With this in mind we created Digitall, a project that enables young people to take the lead and share their knowledge and skills with a different generation who want to embrace the digital world but don't know where to start.

Most UK citizens have access to computers and the Internet at local schools and community venues, but they may not be skilled or confident ICT users. Those who do not understand, cannot afford or do not engage with the new technologies are getting left behind, creating a so-called 'digital divide'.

Bridging the digital divide is not just about giving people greater access to computers. It's about showing people how to use the Internet in the most effective way and in turn increasing their confidence, their competency and their skills.

The aim of Digitall is to create a digitally inclusive society in which everyone benefits equally from access to information, services and communication.

TimeBank
