Free Technology Support for Martinborough Seniors

July 12, 2021 July 2021 No Comments

Are you keen to learn a new skill on your phone, tablet, or computer? And while you’re at it, do you fancy having a laugh and a good chinwag? We have helped seniors with a range of problems from sending and receiving text messages, storing and backing up precious photos, to setting up social media accounts such as WhatsApp and Facebook to help keep them connected. We’ve also helped many with their Netflix accounts and those pesky password problems.

Digital Seniors offers free coaching to seniors right here in Martinbrough, every Thursday from 9:30am – 11:30am at St Andrews Church. We would love for you to join in the fun!

Drop in with a specific technology query or simply just to learn new skills in a positive, fun, and social environment. We offer one-on-one coaching services. All you need to do is show up to one of our hubs with your device and our skilled coaches will be right there to help.

Haven’t got time to hang around? Book an appointment! We now offer the option for you to reserve a time slot so you won’t have to wait to see a coach. Call us on 0800 373 646 to book a spot.

Can’t leave home? We’ll come to you! We do free home visits for those who are unable or find it difficult to leave home. To arrange a home visit please call us on 0800 373 646. All our volunteers are vetted and police checked.

Our goal is to make using technology enjoyable for seniors. After all… why should the grandkids have all the fun?
