East Sussex Digital Growth Series
Â
Free, practical digital workshops for East Sussex businesses
Â
The East Sussex Digital Growth Series is a fully-funded programme of in-person workshops designed to help small businesses strengthen their digital skills, improve productivity and make better use of technology.
The programme runs from September 2026 to March 2027 across Eastbourne, Hastings, Uckfield, Lewes and Bexhill.
What’s included?
Each session is built around one goal: giving you something you can put into practice the same day. Whether you want more customers finding you online, a website that earns its keep, a clearer handle on your business data, safer systems, or a practical grip on AI, there’s a workshop here for you.
Workshops cover:
- Doing Business Online
- Make Your Website Work Harder
- Stand Out on Google
- Scroll-Stopping Video Content
- AI and Automation for Small Business
- Data Made Easy
- Cyber Safety Basics
Sessions are practical, hands-on and designed to give businesses clear actions they can put into practice straight away.
And the AI workshops are now CPD certified!
Who can join?
The programme is FREE to join for eligible, actively trading SMEs and sole traders based within the East Sussex County Council area.Â
