ClearCommunityWeb are a social enterprise, that provides borough-wide digital skills training, advice and support services to community groups, older people, vulnerable adults and carers across Bromley, Croydon, Lambeth and Southwark.

We understand, for many people, technology can be overwhelming. Making information as simple as possible can go a long way in giving people the confidence to overcome their fears and anxieties. Our services walk through the steps to resolve computer issues and difficulties people are having in staying connected.

We work closely with community groups and non-profit organisations, providing training and direct support for remote working. Enabling support workers to have keep in contact with vulnerable service users, share digital skills within their organisation and promote digital inclusion in their network.

We have become a place where people feel comfortable contacting and asking, no question is too basic, and we work together to overcome the challenges we face. As the demand of our digital one-to-one support services increase, we are working hard to expand our reach, and include everyone in our online community.
