Our Digital inclusion programme at Age UK Sutton aims to promote the benefits of being online, provide people with confidence and skills to be able to use devices such as smartphones, tablets, computers, and even Amazon speakers to enable people to get the most out of using online services.

📱Learning about how to be safe online

What skills sessions are on offer?

121 support

At home or in the community, a digital champion will teach basic skills required to get the most out of using a device online. Working with a member of the team, we will help you to achieve your digital goals.

Group sessions

In a community setting, we offer small group sessions based on similar goals. Each week using your digital diary you will learn the required skills to send emails/connect to video calls/ importance of online safety and much more. These groups will run in cohorts for 6-8 weeks following a programme with handouts and lots of resources available.

Digital Drop ins

If you have a device and have a query about an app or how to set something up, a drop in session offers support from one of our Digital Champions to problem solve with you. We can also provide you with how to guides that you can keep for future reference.
