The NMC Hub aims to ensure that our community can enjoy the benefits of digital technology.
Research has shown that people with a disability are 35% less likely to have essential digital skills for life. In the NMC Hub, we aim to bridge this gap.
You can find us towards the rear of the building, where we’ve created a welcoming space for connection, creativity and skill-building. Please come through and see us.
