Sky have partnered with Ivybridge Link Charity to open up a digital hub in Isleworth to tackle digital inequalities in the area. 

On Monday 28th March, Sky opened their digital hub at The BridgeLink Community Centre, which serves 3,000 residents with after school clubs, youth clubs, holiday clubs, coffee mornings, training and consultation programmes. 

Sky, in partnership with Ivybridge Link Charity, will provide the centre with free wi-fi, access to devices, and digital skill support as they look to help tackle digital inequality in the area. 

MP for Brentford and Isleworth, Ruth Cadbury MP said: "I was delighted to open the Sky Up Digital Hub at the BridgeLink Community Centre today.  

"IvybridgeLink provides support and critical services to residents locally including homework clubs, youth activities, coffee mornings, a community Pantry and skills training programmes.  

"These also provide fantastic support networks that make a life-changing difference to local families. 

"With a Sky Up Digital Hub opening here, the services will be enhanced through greater connectivity and more digital devices.  

"I look forward to working with Sky and IvybridgeLink as we continue to support the local community." 

This digital hub is part of Sky's plan, which they started in 2022, to help tackle digital inequality with a three-part initiative to help a quarter of a million people through a dedicated £10 million fund. 

IvybridgeLink Charity Chair of Trustees, Rob Kemp said: "IvybridgeLink's partnership with Sky Up is a fantastic opportunity to further develop our centre's offer to the local community.  

"The Digital Hub facilities and support Sky is providing will help us to continue to meet the needs of BridgeLink Centre users - enabling more local people to access digital media, learn new digital skills and build their confidence in using the internet.  

"We're really excited about the benefits of being a hub will bring to people of all ages on the Ivybridge Estate and the wider Isleworth community."
