Chapelfields Digital Cafe
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.
No bookings are required and you can stick around for a few minutes, or a few hours, everyone is welcome at the Keeping Digital Foundation Digital Cafes.
This Digital Cafe will be closed in May: On Thursday 2nd of May, Sanderson House will be used for the York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority mayoral election. Due to this, there will be no Chapelfields Digital Cafe taking place in May. We will be running as normal in June. Your nearest Digital Cafes are at Foxwood and St Sampsons in the York City Centre. We apologise for any inconvenience caused but due to Sanderson House being a local polling station, this cancellation is unavoidable.
Upcoming Cafes:
Chapelfields Digital Cafe
Where: Sanderson House, Bramham Road, York
Next Cafe: 6 June 2024 | 10:00-12:00
(on the first Thursday of every month)
This Digital Cafe takes place during the Chapelfields Community Assciation session.
Our Digital Cafes are a space for York residents to get dedicated support in getting online, from accessing Council services or setting up a mobile phone! Bring along any devices, any questions and our volunteers are here for a cuppa and a chat.
No need to book, just pop down and we'll see you there!

Databank support available at this Digital Cafe
The York Databank distributes free SIMs and mobile data to eligible residents, ensuring residents aren't cut off from the basic daily activities most people in our country take for granted. No-one should be left behind. Residents can find out if they are eligible and speak to a volunteer at a Digital Cafe to get started.
Our Chapelfields Digital Cafe is a safe space.
If you are experiencing domestic abuse or are in danger, we are here to support you. Pop in to one of our Digital Cafes and say you have an appointment with Ani. One of our volunteers will then take you for a 1-1 appointment in a private room at one of our Digital Cafe locations.
We will then allow you to use a phone to call 999, or to speak to a domestic abuse support helpline. Alternatively, if you do not want to ring an organisation or the emergency services, we can talk to you about referring you to a domestic abuse organisation or provide you with more information on how you can get support.
