Great to be out and about at the Lambeth Winter Wellbeing event.

We always like to share and signpost other projects when we do outreach which reminded us of our fresh delivery of Lambeth Larders from the - A crucial resource for those needing assistance in the Borough

Sharing the room here with @communitytechaid @millennium_community_solutions @mosaicclubhouse @ageuklambeth @carershub

Being a panel speaker at the Lambeth Council’s “Digital Access for All” was a chance to celebrate some of the hard work done by the fantastic team at ClearCommunityWeb.⠀
⠀
The event matched council and VCS initiatives with the private sector to demonstrate and explore some of the work within the Borough over the last year.⠀
⠀
It was great catching up with the people in the room, in particular, with our friends at Millennium Community Solutions, Community Tech Aid, Homes for Lambeth, Carers Hub, High Trees, WLM & Watmos.⠀

A sneaky peak at our 2020-21 Impact Report hot off the press. ⠀
⠀
We are just going through it with a fine tooth comb and will be launching it at the Digital Lambeth: Inclusion and Access for All event 18th November. ⠀
⠀
There are some fantastic photos and stories from the team's hard work during lockdown and most importantly the view from the people we work with and for. ⠀
⠀
All WILL be revealed ⠀

We spend a lot of time our our digital classes thinking of different ways to explain the fundamentals (we DONT like the word basics!).⠀
⠀
What works is different person to person and we often resort to pen, paper and the back of napkins (Where is that quill?)⠀
⠀
The point is, how we learn and what we are learning is not necessarily the same thing (and rarely is). We all respond to different methods.⠀

And we are off.....⠀
⠀
Back into buildings and starting a new cohort of Digital Horizons - our introduction to using a Tablet course in partnership with the Kingswood Community Shop and Crystal Palace Community Trust.⠀
⠀
Many #olderpeople have either picked one up or been given one during #lockdown and our job is to help them use it!⠀
⠀
We start with the basics, its a space to play and make mistakes, and through this we learn.⠀

A big bowl of kitkats don't go miss either!⠀

The coming together of people can be a powerful thing.⠀

Lisa first helped Sherry with some form filling at a critical stage in her life over a decade ago and has been indebted every since.⠀
⠀
Fast forward to Thornton Heath in 2021 and our Community Tech Support drop-in at Age UK Croydon has bought them together again.⠀
⠀
Its great to see that our help with computers and access to services sits comfortably within and side by side other more traditional outlets for support and services.⠀
⠀
We are at AGE UK CROYDON every Tuesday 13.30-3.30 and we have other drop-ins across South London (See Link in Bio)⠀
