A wonderful beginning to our Community Tech Suppor

A wonderful beginning to our Community Tech Support provision at Age UK Croydon today.⠀
⠀
Sometimes we all just need a quiet space in somewhere we trust in order to gather our thoughts and learn something new.⠀
⠀
Slowing down enough to think a problem through is half the battle but today we managed to .....⠀
⠀

Who would ever have thought that we would be delivering work in a fantastic building such as this? ⠀
⠀
Since September we have been working with the Hive project based out of St John the Evangelist in Upper Norwood to deliver a series of workshops and activities to introduce some of their members to the internet. ⠀
⠀
Our Digital Awareness sessions have answered fundamental questions around privacy, password management, practical uses of maps and apps as well as getting to know the local area better.⠀
⠀
Adults experiencing a crisis or suffer for mental health or learning difficulties often feel like the last in line when if come to learning new things and technology can feel really fast paced… So we try to slow it down and build confidence⠀

⠀
Our session are design to break down those barriers and provide a safe space to ask basic question.⠀
