Let’s Get Digital

If you want to find great apps and tools to help you get fit or manage your weight, the internet’s a great place to start! Why not come along to a local event to get a helping hand getting started? We will be hosting some free drop-in digital health events across the South coast.

Aspire Sussex is one of over 100 registered UK online centres nationwide delivering a range of initiatives to support you to improve your skills so they can find health information online.

If you have a spare hour, our experienced team will be on hand to show you how getting online could help improve your digital skills. Whether you want to get fit, manage an existing condition or order a repeat prescription, you could be doing it all, and more, online.

It doesn’t matter if you’ve never even touched a computer before or if you already know a bit about computers. This is your chance to give computers and the internet a go. It’s fun, free and could change how you manage your health forever.
