New Hope works with the elderly community in Aston and Small Heath area who are interested in learning more about digital technology. We run workshops on a biweekly basis to help older people get more comfortable and familiar with digital technology. These computing sessions show the elderly community how to use digital technology for banking, shopping, researching family history, online games, using social media to stay in touch with family and friends and to use online maps and email friends. New Hope intends to enthuse members of this community to learn more about computers and the internet through our biweekly meetings.

 

Our biweekly meetings provide basic skills in digital technology. We also provide a certificate of attendance and help participants build their confidence online and stay in contact with the family who might live far away. These sessions have a focus on community and learning together in partnership.

 

This is an exciting new project, email if you want to be involved either in the classes or in volunteering in the sessions!
