Help older people get connected online

Provide training workshops at community centres and in one-to-one sessions and a "digital buddy" system to help elderly people use computers and get online.

Why the contribution is important

Elderly people often live isolated lives and may find it difficult to access shops and services due to mobility issues. In addition, their computer and internet skills and knowledge may be low. Giving them the skills and confidence to make use of the internet will help them to be less isolated and make use of services, such as internet shopping, online banking and health services, that may help them remain independent for longer.
