Our two community digital projects ensure that people have the skills and knowledge to use digital technology to support their daily lives if they chose.
– In partnership with the organisation Realise Futures we offer six week “Tablet Course” training sessions, these are delivered in locations across the county. Learning the basic functions of a tablet, right from the start of how to turn on the device, emailing, browsing the internet, taking photos, learning about files and storage, and importantly how to stay connected with family and friends.
– We also run digital sessions monthly at our Digital Workshops in community spaces across the county where we can support individuals who may have a question or problem with a digital device, and would like to have some support from one of our Digital Champion volunteers. All with light refreshments and friendly conversation!
