Your local digital skills & community hub
Free support, free to use computers, co-working space and a café — all on Gosport High Street. No experience needed, no booking required.
Gosport Digital Skills Hub CIC exists to make digital life accessible to every resident of Gosport — no matter their age, income, or confidence level.
We provide free, practical support across the full spectrum of digital life. From setting up your first email address to staying safe from online scams, accessing public services, getting to grips with your device, or building the skills to find work — we're here to help, no appointment needed, no judgement, no charge.
Through free drop-in sessions, one-to-one guidance, and skills workshops, we support residents to do more online, worry less, and feel confident in a world that's becoming more digital every day.
We also work to remove the barriers that keep people offline — helping residents access funding, affordable broadband, and the devices they need to get and stay connected.
Digital exclusion isn't just an inconvenience. It means missing benefits you're entitled to, struggling to find work, losing touch with family, and falling behind. We exist to change that — for everyone in Gosport.
A Gosport where every resident — regardless of income, age, or background — has the skills, confidence, and connectivity to fully participate in modern digital life.
