You might be surprised about how much of your life can be managed online. Many of us use the internet to browse the news or use social media, however there are some more practical uses too. You can access services such as your dentist or GP or do your banking without the need to go into a bank. You can also connect with loved ones and order your groceries online. You can even access your Orbit account 24 hours a day, seven days a week through myAccount.
We want everyone who wants to get online to have the confidence to do so and the ability to afford it. That’s why we’ve recently joined the National Digital Inclusion Network, which is run by the charity ‘Good Things Foundation’, to help you access the internet and develop your digital skills online.
How do I find out more?

You can also find more about free training through ‘Learn My Way’, our new digital support toolkit which allows you to take online digital courses to brush up on your learning in your own time and at your own pace.
For additional free digital support, you can also take advantage of Barclays Digital Wings, an online training tool that provides tutorials to help you improve your digital know how. Just visit our myDigital webpage to find out more.
Cherise Palmer, Employability and Skills Lead for Orbit said: “We hope that being part of the National Digital Inclusion Network will support our work to help customers navigate this increasingly digitally-led world and unlock the many benefits that being online offers when it comes to helping people with employment, education and health.”
