High Trees provides free ICT and digital skills courses in Brixton together with functional skills classes in English, maths and ESOL. The Baytree Centre, located in central Brixton, runs digital skills workshops and CV writing sessions aimed at women and girls through its social inclusion work. Digital Drop-Ins at Myatts Field Centre supply informal help with device confidence, account recovery and hacking concerns as part of the Lambeth Digital Inclusion Programme.

Members of Brixton Library receive free access to online digital literacy materials such as e-books, e-audio, magazines and reference sources that can be used from home. The combination of scheduled sessions at the library, High Trees, the Baytree Centre and Myatts Field Centre creates multiple entry points for residents seeking to improve their digital capabilities. These programmes operate on set days and formats that allow consistent participation without financial barriers.
