Getting online is as much down to the support you

The NHS Test & Trace App presents many challenges

The NHS Test & Trace App presents many challenges for older people and vulnerable adults who struggle with technology.

These include understanding privacy, overcoming anxiety, installing the right app and getting your head around QR codes – things we take for granted if we are on social media

At ClearCommunityWeb we believe its our responsibility to help and educate people who may not have these skills.

Our ethos is to help people make better decisions for themselves.

Its not made any easier with the current climate or product launch but we plough on.

We are running an online information session TUES 6th OCTOBER at 11 for Older People and carers about the app and what it means.

Digital Skills for Seniors is back after a summer

Digital Skills for Seniors is back after a summer break!
We return with a very important topic - the NHS Covid-19 Test & Trace app.
We will cover:
• What does the NHS Covid-19 Test & Trace app do?
• Will it work on my phone?
• How do I download it?
• What is a QR code?
• Do I need it in shops?
• Does it use my personal information?
This is a class aimed at older people and carers who may be unsure about technology or smartphones and want to know more or need some practical help.
Please contact Caspar on 07523 646 277 or caspar@clearcommunityweb.co.uk if you have any questions or DM here for Eventbrite details!
Please pass this information on to those who may not be on Eventbrite or social media

A big thanks to Graham who has worked hard to set

A big thanks to Graham who has worked hard to set up the donated tablets as part of the #devicesdotnow initiative.

@goodthingsfoundation helped us to place 10 tablets with senior residents and match them with #volunteers to help them learn the basics of going online, searching for information and using apps.

It’s been an interesting journey
