Digital Champion
Age UK South Gloucestershire
Supporting those aged over 50 to embrace digital technology.
Our Digital Inclusion Project supports people over in 50 through a person centred approach, providing support tailored to their needs. This may be helping people to access areas such social media, internet shopping, NHS apps or internet banking. Being digitally included can help older people carry out the activities that matter most to them, stay connected with family and friends, access essential services and remain socially connected. This project is delivered on a 1-1 basis across South Gloucestershire, or in group workshops currently held in Hanham, Kingswood or Yate.
