To celebrate Get Online Week from 20 to 26 October, Connecting Cheshire are working with local community organisations to run free digital drop-in events in Frodsham and Winsford.
Get Online Week is a national campaign run by Good Things Foundation, and it’s all about helping people feel more confident using the internet. It’s been going since 2007 and every year thousands of people across the UK take part.
With everything from banking to benefits now online, not having access or the skills to get online can make life much harder.

- Help getting started with devices and Wi-Fi
- Learn a new digital skill

You can boost your digital skills, or help someone you know to get online, by borrowing an iPad from your local library. This can allow you, a friend, or a family member to access Council services and much more.
With the Library iPad Borrowing Scheme, you can borrow an iPad for six weeks. You can collect the device from any Cheshire West and Chester Library, you just need a library card and a form of ID. You can even join the library service online in advance.

Each iPad comes with mobile data so you can access the internet even if you don't have Wi-Fi at home. The iPads include a getting started guide and instructional video. Our library staff are also there to help you get online.
The iPads come with pre-installed apps, such as eBooks, eAudiobooks and eMagazines, as well as links to resources and support with job searching, accessing Council services, or getting in touch with family and friends.
