New drop-in Fridays launch at Weymouth Digital Skills Hub this week

Starting Friday 19 September, the Weymouth Digital Skills Hub at Weymouth Library will host Community Connect Fridays - a weekly drop-in event offering free digital support, expert advice, and access to local services.

Running every Friday from 10am to 2pm, the free sessions are designed to help residents build confidence with technology, get practical help with life admin, explore career options, and connect with their community.

No booking is needed - just drop in, grab a cuppa, and learn at your own pace.

What’s on each week:

• Career and Employer Support - Weymouth Job Centre Plus (10am - 1pm): Work Coaches and Employer Advisors offer tailored support for job seekers and employers.
• Life Admin Help - Citizens Advice (10am - 12pm): Confidential advice on housing, benefits, debt, and more.
• Community Connections - Dorset Volunteer Centre (10am - 12pm): Support for volunteers and community groups looking to grow.
• Co-learning Space - Learn Together, Grow Together (10am - 2pm): A relaxed space to practice digital skills with help from a Digital Champion.
• Wellbeing Guidance - Steps to Wellbeing: Available on Friday 31 October and Friday 28 November, from 12pm to 2pm, offering signposting to mental health support.

Funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, the Weymouth Digital Skills Hub was inspired by the success of BCP Council’s Boscombe Digital Skills Hub, and is part of Dorset Council’s commitment to reducing inequalities and boosting local opportunities.
