Hello Monks Cross, York!
Our new hub is now open at Monks Cross Drive
Pop in and say hi at our Monks Cross Drive Hub!
We're delighted to have opened our first Hub space at Monks Cross, York. Located just behind Monks Cross Shopping Park, our hub is home to multiple services run by the Keeping Digital Foundation.
Opened in March 2024, the hub was a new initiative by the organisation to turn unused business park units into spaces where we can better help our local communities. Our Monks Cross Hub operates as a main hub to the Keeping Digital Foundation and Gwiddle, whilst also taking on more face-to-face work compared to our Bootham registered office.
Our Monks Cross Hub is also the first location that accepts the donation of your old digital devices, which can then be refurbished to benefit your local community, or recycled where this is not possible.
Every Saturday, we are opening our hub to the public, where people can get face-to-face support with a volunteer at one of our desks, or chat digital on our green Keeping Digital sofa.
Our hub comes with free customer parking - just pull into The Storage Team and you'll find us located towards the back of the car park. We can't wait to see you!
Address: Keeping Digital Foundation, Monks Cross Drive, Huntington, York, YO32 9GZ (next door to The Storage Team)

Similar to our Digital Cafes, we provide face-to-face digital inclusion support at our Monks Cross Hub. Got a question about your digital device or getting online? We're here to help.
About to throw out your old mobile phone, tablet, or laptop? You can now donate your old digital devices to the Keeping Digital Foundation at our Monks Cross Hub. Our team will then try to refurbish your device to get it back into your community and benefitting local people. If your device cannot be refurbished, we will ensure it's recycled. Our Monks Cross Hub can also provide certificates of data destruction on request.
You can collect your Databank SIM card here at our Monks Cross Hub. If you're eligible for free data, speak to a volunteer who can help get you connected.
Our Monks Cross Hub is a space for our volunteers to meet during our Volunteer drop-in sessions. Pop in to find out more about volunteering with us.
We'll be hosting little takeovers of our Monks Cross Hub - running little Digital Workshops for residents looking to learn new skills on their digital devices.
You can get in touch with the Hub by emailing monkscrosshub@keepingdigital.org.uk.
