We're still talking about Digi Fest! What incredible days they were, bringing residents, colleagues and partners together to explore the opportunities that digital can offer. From helpful advice and interactive activities to great conversations and plenty of learning, the events were packed with energy from start to finish.

It was fantastic to see so many people getting involved, trying new things and finding out more about the support, skills and resources available in their communities. Events like Digi Fest are a brilliant reminder of the difference that can be made when people come together to share knowledge, build confidence and help others make the most of digital.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to making the day such a success. We couldn't have done it without you. Watch our highlights video to get a flavour of the day and hear from Fiona from ROCU, Hazel from the Tenant Voice & Engagement Team, and our very own TechMate Andy as they share their thoughts on what made Digi Fest so special. πŸŽ₯✨

That's a wrap on a fantastic August for Digital Wigan!🌟

We've had a brilliant month not only with our Digi Fest events but our amazing TechMate Tea Parties which continue to help residents get online, learn new skills, and make the most of digital technology. Thank you to everyone who has attended a session, supported our work, or followed along on social media.

We hope you all have a wonderful Bank Holiday weekend filled with rest, fun, and time with loved ones. We'll see you again in September with plenty more digital support, advice, and community activities. πŸ’»

You wouldn't open your front door to a stranger without checking who they are first.
The same rule applies online. Scammers often pretend to be your bank, a delivery company, or someone you know to gain your trust.

βœ… Verify unexpected messages
βœ… Don't click links straight away
βœ… Contact organisations using official details
βœ… Never share passwords or security codes

A quick check could protect you from a costly scam.

Every quiz you complete, photo you share, and detail you post online can help scammers learn more about you.

On their own, these pieces of information might seem harmless. Together, they can be used to guess passwords, answer security questions, or create convincing scam messages.

βœ… Think before you share personal details online
βœ… Review your social media privacy settings
βœ… Be cautious of quizzes asking personal questions
βœ… Use unique, strong passwords

Don't give scammers the missing pieces of your puzzle.
