Sharing the Academy with family
"I recently showed my elderly parents the Lloyds Academy online, as my mum in particular is very nervous about doing anything - such as online banking - using her phone. The resources available for free are really great, and appreciated"

Business networking
"The webinars have been a great opportunity for me to interact with other business owners, share ideas and get tangible information to help my business. One of the stand-out items was on how to price your product/service, it really helped me understand how to price my service and understand that I don’t have to be the cheapest"

Digital Helpline one-to-one support
I had access to a computer, but lacked confidence and felt lost when it came to tasks such as internet banking, emailing, and online safety. I’m very happy. I now have an email address and am learning new things every time.
