Read our statement about the proposed closure of Acomb's Halifax branch 

We can confirm that the Keeping Digital Foundation has joined the campaign to save the last bank branch left in west York, after councillors launched a petition for its survival. 

Meet Gwiddle! 

Gwiddle is now part of the Keeping Digital Foundation, aiming to improve access to digital technology and also support young people in Computer Science education. To allow more students to get involved and try coding, we're providing free website hosting so students can test code and build exciting projects. 

Get support at our Digital Cafes 

Our Digital Cafes are popping up across the city of York, providing a space for York residents to get dedicated support in getting online. 
Hosted in a 2 hour session, residents can come down for a warm drink and to ask any questions (and bring along any devices). 
Our volunteers are here to help you get online, from setting up a smart phone to signing up to the NHS app or York Council website. 
At selected Digital Cafes across the city of York, the Keeping Digital Foundation are providing free digital workshops provided by our dedicated volunteers. 

We've partnered with York's Virgin Money to bring the Databank to the high street 

We've partnered with our friends at Virgin Money to make getting your free Databank SIM card even easier. If you can't make a Digital Cafe, you can now pop into the York City Centre (Coney Street) branch of Virgin Money and ask to speak to a staff member about the Databank. The Databank scheme is discreet and confidential, and you don't have to be a Virgin Money customer.
