Our Story

🌱 Where It All Began

SkillBeam CIC was founded with a simple mission: to make digital skills accessible to everyone. We saw too many people being left behind, not because they lacked ambition, but because they didn’t have the right support or opportunities. We decided to change that.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 A Family Tradition in Teaching

Education runs deep in our family. For over 30 years, our parents have worked as college lecturers and private tutors, supporting learners from all walks of life. Growing up in that environment, we saw first-hand the impact that patient, dedicated teaching can have on someone’s confidence and future. SkillBeam continues that tradition — taking those values of care, excellence, and accessibility into the digital age.

🚀 Building SkillBeam

From our first community classes in London to our growing online learning platform, SkillBeam has always been about more than just IT training. We’re here to open doors, to give people the tools they need to grow in confidence, and to support learners as they take their first steps into technology.

🌍 Our Mission Today

Our mission is simple:

• Make digital skills accessible to adults of all backgrounds.

• Provide free and affordable training that builds confidence and employability.

• Create a supportive community where learners feel valued.

💡 Looking Ahead

Today, SkillBeam is expanding — from in-person workshops to online courses — reaching more people across London and beyond. But our heart remains the same: helping people take control of their future through education.
