Elenasy CIC A Cambridge CIC promoting digital inclusion, online safety, tech education, and play-based learning. Building Inclusive Communities & Digital Confidence.

Elenasy CIC is a Cambridge-based social enterprise. Our journey began, empowering underrepresented young people with digital skills and confidence for the future of work. Today, we have evolved into a UK community interest company focused on digital inclusion, online safety, and lifelong learning - supporting families, young people, and small business owners to thrive in an increasingly digital world. Through our community learning cafés, digital-skills and social-media workshops, and board-game sessions that foster creativity and problem-solving, we equip individuals with practical tools to stay safe online, embrace technology, and build stronger community connections. Our mission is to create inclusive spaces where learning sparks confidence, creativity, and connection - bridging cultures and communities, and helping people build digital confidence for life. At Elenasy CIC, we believe that when people learn together, they grow together - and together, we’re building a more connected, confident, and future-ready world.

On Saturday, 3 October, we brought a little taste of Nigeria to Connect Café as we welcomed Black History Month, themed Honouring Our Communities.

And what a beautiful afternoon it was!

Beyond the food, music and cultural celebration, what stayed with us most were the conversations.

We met new neighbours, shared stories and personal experiences, laughed together and had some really meaningful conversations about life, our journeys and the possibilities ahead.

Some conversations were light-hearted, others went a little deeper. But each reminded us how much we can learn from one another when we simply make time to connect.

This is what Connect Café is all about. Bringing people of different backgrounds, cultures and generations together to share, learn, build friendships and feel part of a community.

And perhaps that’s one of the most meaningful ways to honour our communities: by listening to one another, celebrating what makes us different and recognising what brings us together.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us and made the afternoon so special. We loved having you!

Here’s to more shared experiences, new friendships and a community that continues to grow together. 💜

One of the moments that made us smile on this weekend was a grandmother who came along with her grandchildren. She speaks little English, but she joined in, enjoyed herself and left us with a photo full of smiles. đź’›

She isn’t the first grandparent to spend a Saturday with us. We’re seeing children, parents and grandparents come together around LEGO and games: building, thinking, talking and getting to know one another. This week, conversations with parents also turned to how we can support young people to stay safe online.

It’s lovely to see learning happen in so many ways, and to see families of all generations feel at home at Elenasy.

Elenasy Code club is back!

It was brilliant to welcome our young people back to Code Club at Darwin Green this weekend, with familiar faces returning and new learners joining us for the first time.

This term marks an exciting new chapter as our Code Club now runs as part of the Digital Hub creating more opportunities for young people to build digital skills, explore technology and learn confidently together.

A big thank you to Connecting Cambridgeshire and Cambridge City Council for supporting the Digital Hub and helping us make digital learning more accessible within our community.

Here’s a little glimpse from our first session back. We’re looking forward to seeing what our young people create this term! 💻🌱

This is what happens when we make a little more room for play.

Over the weekend, children, adults and families from across the Darwin Green, Franklin Gardens and King’s Court Community came out to play, laugh, meet neighbours and simply enjoy being together. Giant games, friendly competition, happy faces and plenty of moments shared across generations.

A huge thank you to Cambridge City Council for supporting our Street Play and to LQHomes for generously donating the games and play equipment.

Sometimes, building community really can be as simple as coming out to play.

A new school year means new classes, new friendships…and often new group chats.

But have you heard of Com networks?

“Com” is short for “community”, but these are harmful online groups where manipulation, blackmail and causing harm may be used to gain status. The National Crime Agency has identified them as an emerging safeguarding concern.

This is especially important for parents and carers raising boys. Not because boys should be treated with suspicion, but because they can be targeted, recruited or drawn into harmful behaviour. Boys need safeguarding too.

The answer is not fear or constant surveillance. Stay interested in their online world, pay attention to significant changes and remind them that they can come to you without immediately being blamed or punished.

Have you heard of Com networks before? Let us know in the comments, and share this with another parent or carer.

Online safety conversations do not always have to begin with a lecture. Sometimes, they happen naturally while young people build, play, solve problems and work together.

Through LEGO, board games and other screen-free activities, we create opportunities to practise problem-solving, teamwork, communication, creativity and STEM thinking. While the young people play, we also have conversations with them and their parents about online safety, healthy screen habits and finding a better balance between digital and offline life.

The aim is not to suggest that screens are bad. Technology can support learning, creativity and connection. Young people also need interesting alternatives that remind them how much they can create, discover and enjoy away from a screen.

We are pleased that these sessions will continue from September, with support from Cambridge City Council
