About Creative Digital Skills CIC

Helping people build confidence, stay safer online and develop creative digital skills for real life.

Creative Digital Skills CIC is a Community Interest Company created to benefit the community through digital confidence, online safety and creative opportunity.

That means we are not here simply to maximise profit. Any income we generate is reinvested back into our work so we can improve what we deliver, reach more people and create more positive opportunities.

We exist to help people navigate a world shaped by technology, social media and digital communication in a way that feels practical, modern and human.

What being a CIC means

  • Community-focused, not purely profit-driven
  • Income reinvested into delivery and impact
  • Built to support people and communities
  • Focused on long-term positive outcomes

Why we exist

Because the digital world moves fast, and too many people are left trying to work it out on their own.

For some, that means struggling with basic digital tasks. For others, it means trying to understand social media, online identity, content creation or digital opportunities without enough support, guidance or protection. We want to help bridge that gap in a way that feels practical, relevant and supportive.

Who we support

Young people

We support children and teenagers as they grow up in a world shaped by phones, platforms, content and constant online visibility.

Parents & carers

We help families feel more informed and reassured when navigating social media, online behaviour, digital reputation and creative opportunities.

Adults & communities

We also support adults and communities who want to improve digital confidence, understand online spaces better and build practical modern skills.

What makes us different

We do not see digital skills as just typing, forms or generic “computer help”. We see them as part of modern life, identity, opportunity and confidence.

That means our approach is broader. We bring together digital life skills, social media awareness, online safety, creative learning and real-world relevance in one place.

  • Practical rather than overly formal
  • Supportive and confidence-building
  • Grounded in how people really live now
  • Focused on safety as well as opportunity
  • Creative, modern and relatable
