Know what is happening
Make local events, support, notices and group activity easier to find without relying on scattered posts or word of mouth.
For residents
Easier access to local information, events and support
Digital Muirkirk should make it easier for residents to see what is happening, find local groups, get support and feel more connected to community life. It should not replace face-to-face contact. It should strengthen it.
Everyday usefulness
A calmer route into community life
The first version gives residents clear signposts. Later versions could add local services, drop-in times, training sessions, volunteering, grant notices and resilience information.
- Find events and public information
- Discover groups, clubs and support routes
- Get help with basic digital access and online tasks
- Build confidence around scams, passwords and safer browsing
Resident benefits
Designed for people, not just systems
The platform should be readable, mobile-friendly, easy to navigate and useful even for people who only need one quick piece of information.
Get digital help
Support people who are not confident online with practical help for everyday tasks, access and safer use of services.
Stay connected offline too
Use the Hub and cafe model to strengthen face-to-face contact rather than replacing it with screens.
Build confidence and safety
Add simple online safety and scam awareness sessions that meet people where they are.
