Get Digital is a digital inclusion programme hosted and managed by Simon Community Scotland. It is currently funded by the Scottish Government and The Good Things Foundation for 2 years (2022-2024).
We nurture and resource the digital capability of Scotland’s homeless sector through training, support and tools.
We want people affected by or working in homelessness to experience an improved quality of life by benefiting from the digital world.
Get friendly, fun, reliable training and support.
Get access to computers and help getting online to get stuff done and connect with friends and family.
Become a Get Digital Partner – working together we can help train your staff and embed digital inclusion across all aspects of what you do.
If your organisation is signed up as a Get Digital Partner, you could become a Get Digital Champion! You don’t need to be an expert. Help others learn and connect. Learn as you go!
Digital skills are for everyone. With no judgement we welcome all levels, listening and responding to each individual (and organisation) we work with.
We start at whatever place people are at and walk ‘the next step’ to where they want to go. We focus on what’s most useful to each person (and organisation) we work with so that individuals feel more empowered, skilled and confident; and able to achieve their goals.
We bring a spirit of energy, fun and lightness to learning and the tech world (technical language), avoiding jargon.
We adopt a plain speaking, no fuss approach so that the digital world and learning is clear, accessible and enjoyable.
We strive to be up to date with the latest digital tools and trends so we can pass on what we know.
We build partnerships and collaboration with a wide range of people and organisations so that people get the best possible support. We work to connect well with people; and connect people to the digital world.
