Face to face digital support
Digital support from Digital Champions
Digital champions are friendly volunteers who can spend time one to one with our residents to help them use digital technology to improve their lives. Coventry’s Digital Champions are EnV City Hosts. They can help teach people a variety of skills such as, setting up an email account, registering for a service, how to use online searches and much more.
