WFConnect Cafés

What are WFConnect Cafés?

WFConnect Cafés are spaces that have been set up in community buildings across the district. They are there to support children, young people, and their families to get online.

At each café there are computers, tablets, and internet access available.

What can I use them for?

The WFConnect Cafés are here to help ensure everyone has access to technology and the internet.

This may mean using the cafés as a place to do homework, connect with friends. You can also discover support around employment, housing, health, and budgets.

They can also be used just for internet access to browse appropriate content online.

Some of the venues will have additional support and help on offer. For more information about what's on offer at your local café, please contact us.
