Welcome to the Let's Get Digital bulletin!
Welcome to the first edition of Manchester City Council's Let's Get Digital bulletin: a monthly round-up of digital support on offer across Manchester.
We are sharing this first edition with subscribers to our Libraries mailing list as we highlight some of the work being done by Manchester Libraries' Digital Inclusion team and the Work and Skills team. Their aim is to ensure as many Mancunians as possible have the kit, skills and confidence to benefit from the digital world.

Donate old devices at your local library
We've partnered with Community Computers to deliver a device donation and refurbishment programme!
Take any devices that you no longer need or use down to your local library. Anything that cannot be used, can be recycled!
Laptops, desktops, smartphones and tablets are refurbished so that they are in perfect working order, and then provided to low-income residents at a fraction of their initial cost.
