Sharrow Digital Media Centre

As a well-used community resource based in the heart of Sharrow, Learn for Life Enterprise will use part of their existing premises on London Road to create a digital media hub. We currently support many people from the local BME, migrant, and refugee communities to develop skills, and by creating a Digital Media centre it will allow them to build on these skills to support them to find employment and start businesses in the creative and digital industries. We will also run an innovative ‘Enterprise Club’ where like-minded individuals can share ideas, collaborate, and network.

Learn for Life Enterprise will be working closely with Sharrow Community Forum and Football Unites, Racism Divides to deliver a comprehensive offer to the local area. This will see the creation of a ‘multi-site digital media centre’ where many forms of support can take place. The project is part financed by the European Union European Regional Development Fund.  See here for more details from  Sheffield Community Network,   Sheffield Community Network Autumn Newsletter and remember to visit us at  Sharrow Digital Media Centre.

“This is a remarkably exciting and innovative opportunity to work together to enhance digital inclusion in the diverse community of Sharrow.” Hayley Nelson, Learn For Life Enterprise
