The Larches Cafe in Coldean is offering free IT support and mentoring on Monday 14th March, from 9.00am until midday.
The session is part of a ‘One Digital’ collaborative programme to help thousands of people across the UK to get online.
One Digital is a unique collaboration between six diverse organisations to create a sustainable and far reaching digital inclusion solution. Age UK, the Scottish Council of Voluntary Organisations, Citizens Online and Digital Unite with its partners Affinity Sutton and AbilityNet have joined forces to develop the One Digital programme which will recruit, train and support 1,400 Digital Champions nationwide.
Glenn Lloyd, Digital Champion for Brighton & Hove, will be answering any of those IT niggles that you have. Bring along your devices – laptops, tablets, smart phones etc, or simply log into the laptop an the cafe. As well as being on hand to answer your questions the Digital Champion will also be able to signpost to other great resources for more support and actually sourcing equipment.
Glenn said: “Helping other people to see how they can find information about bus timetables, email photos to their family or order their shopping online is really rewarding. Sometimes people find it difficult to complete the online forms that they need to access benefits or look for work, and we can help with these too.”
