Tower Hamlets, London – 2 July 2026 – Wish Foundation has successfully delivered its Digital Enrolment Event, welcoming more than 120 local residents and marking a major milestone in its ongoing commitment to digital inclusion and women’s empowerment. A total of 87 women enrolled in the organisation’s Digital Confidence Programme, taking an important first step toward building essential digital skills for everyday life, education, employment, and safe online engagement.
Hosted at the Glass House Community Centre, the event brought together community members, volunteers, partners, and local leaders in a shared effort to reduce digital exclusion and strengthen access to opportunity across Tower Hamlets.
Building Digital Confidence and Community Inclusion
The Digital Confidence Programme is designed to support women in developing practical digital skills, including using online services safely, improving employability prospects, and increasing confidence in navigating an increasingly digital world.
Participants at the enrolment event were introduced to the programme, completed registrations, and connected with support staff and volunteers who will guide them throughout their learning journey.
Community engagement activities throughout the day highlighted the growing importance of digital literacy, particularly for vulnerable women, migrants, asylum seekers, and local residents who may face barriers to access.
Strong Partnership Support
Tower Hamlets Council played a key role in supporting the initiative, alongside contributions from community leaders, volunteers, and media representatives.
Wish Foundation extended its appreciation to all partners and participants who contributed to the success of the event, including:
- Mustak Ahmed, Speaker & Councillor

Their participation underscored the importance of collaborative action in addressing digital inequality and strengthening community resilience.
