Our planet and society is transforming at such a rate that as individuals and communities it can be hard to understand and feel a part of. We believe that climate and digital education is fundamental for social cohesion, both now and for the future. By offering free or affordable educational resources, training, information and events we can support our communities to become more empowered and connected – both in person and online.
We ‘sit’ within the Voluntary and Community sector as a Community Interest Company limited by guarantee. This means that we have no shares and therefore no shareholders. Our asset lock is Shropshire Community Foundation. Our profits are currently reinvested into the organisation to grow our services, rent space, employ staff and manage volunteers. We are accountable to the community that use our services.
Founded in Feb 2021 by Vicki, we started trading in October 2022 and moved into our Whitchurch offices (42 High Street) in March 2024 so that we could offer community digital skills. We deliberately chose a high street location to bring people into the town to use local services and struggled for some time to find a space. We are located on the 1st floor up some stairs and are actively seeking to expand into a ground floor location for more accessibility.
We currently employ 4 people, 1 x full-time, 3 x part-time that all live within 30 miles of Whitchurch.
