Are you struggling with technology?

You are not alone in being ‘offline’, as latest figures show that 35% of adults aged between 50 and 70 and 70% of over 70s are in the same boat. Being excluded can often lead to feelings of isolation and loneliness.

What can we do?

We use expert volunteer tutors (Digital Champions) to deliver support and get you ‘online’. Whether you are a first time user or looking to improve your skill set further, we can help you.

We can also help you put together your digital Life Story.

How do we help?

• Individual sessions.
• Group sessions.
• Digital help desks and drop-in sessions at community venues.
• Home visiting (if required).

If necessary, we can also lend you a device to use to ‘try before you buy’.

Benefits of being online

• Keep in contact with friends and family
• Sending and receiving emails
• Sharing photos and videos
• Watching your favourite films
• Joining in family video calls
• Filling in online forms and claims
• Browsing for information
• And more...

Where are our sessions?

We run regular sessions at our offices in Worcester and Malvern and offer digital help desks at Talk Community Hubs and drop-in sessions at other community venues across Herefordshire.

What is a Life Story?

• Life Stories Herefordshire and Worcestershire is an online platform that allows anyone living in either Herefordshire or Worcestershire to create their own digital life story book.
• A digital life story book is specially designed for ease of use and recording what is important to you. Create books, add photos and share with family or friends.

While people often think about life stories as being used to support people with dementia, capturing information about what is important to you can actually be interesting and relevant for anyone. There is evidence that it can make a difference for people across the lifespan, including not just people with dementia but those with learning disabilities and children who have been in the care system.
