We are like a dog with a bone in trying to get as many shielding and isolated residents connected with their support networks, whether for exercise, crafts, a little chat or bereavement.
Won’t get a little thing like a sun trap in a porch and Windows 10 updates to get in our way!
We don’t win them all but certainly try!!!!
Simply DON’T GIVE UP

When you’ve run out of cloud storage but need to get a video over to @crystalpalacefestival from you #mobilephone ready for editing then #wetransfer ACTUALLY does do the trick.

Love these problem-solving dilemmas whilst helping our senior residents with their tech.
Can’t wait to see the final performance in 2 weeks time!

VOLUNTEER WITH US THIS SUMMER! During July, August

VOLUNTEER WITH US THIS SUMMER!
During July, August & September we will helping 10 selected isolated residents access the internet for the first time. We have been granted 10 android tablets with data and will be donating these alongside 1 to 1 support from some local ‘Tech Buddies’ who will help them to browse the internet, use video messaging and access email.

They will be shown a range of local activities they can access and be supported to experience the Crystal Palace festival is it goes online.

We will also be looking for a cohort of ‘Tech Buddies’ to exclusively spend time with residents during the Crystal Palace Festival and help them experience an online festival for the first time.

You will help them to learn how to use their donated Android tablet, access a range of online classes and groups they may be interested in and support them to access the Crystal Palace Festival online during the weekend of 15th / 16th August.

You do not need to be whizz with Tech! Being comfortable with a tablet or a willingness to learn on the fly with others is key, as is patience and having a sense of humour.

We started 18 months ago with the intention to create a local and trusted organization which helped residents be more comfortable with technology and to give clear and simple support, tuition and assistance.

We also believed that we could create opportunities for local people and saw this as a way of bringing parts of the community together

We’ve just have been nominated by #crystalpalacefestival to from their August 2020 fundraising campaign!

Please can you help & vote for us by 10pm on 21 July and help us grow in 2021!

As an online centre, Upper Norwood Library Hub and

As an online centre, Upper Norwood Library Hub and ClearCommunityWeb have been given 10 tablets (and data) by the the Good Things Foundation to donate to local residents who are currently isolated and keen to participate in a learning programme.

This is part of a scheme called DevicesDotNow.

These will be distributed to 10 residents who fit the following criteria:

either self-isolated or classified as ‘vulnerable’,
have no internet access or means to acquire it
over 70 or on low-income
limited local social support
Each resident will participate in a short learning program designed to help then become more independent using things like video calls and searching for information. They will receive some 1 to 1 support to orientate themselves and be signed up to a self-learning program (LearnMyWay).

They will be supported to either watch or participate in the Crystal Palace Festival Online and agree to be interviewed about their experience during lockdown and what they have learned as part of the Audio time capsule project All Alone Together.

The device will be theirs to keep, but will be encouraged to participate in classes at the library either online and when the library re-opens with a tablet oriented digital inclusion class.

We will be working in close partnership with Kingswood Community Shop to facilitate this.

We have already identified a few people but have a few places left, so would like to encourage people to put their thinking caps on to see if there is anyone in their vicinity who would be eligible, and if so to contact me directly as we only have this week to get ‘bums on seats’!

Secondly, we are also looking for a couple of volunteers to become ‘buddies’ to these residents perhaps help distribute the devices, help someone to one support, on the phone or doorstep and help them practice video calling

As ever it was great to cover the #croydon @croydonbmeforum elders session on Wednesday. We discovered some recordings on the new #YouTube channel they have set up with sessions on #mindfulness #nutrition #exerciseathome and improving our memory. We also took a trip down memory lane and searched for #community film footage of Brixton market through the decades. #memories #heritage #olderpeople #digitalinclusion
