You will be supported step by step to find a solution in a relaxed, welcoming environment.

This drop-in session is ideal for anyone who wants a bit of extra help with everyday technology, especially if you’re looking to build your confidence, become more independent, or feel less frustrated when things don’t go to plan.

What will I learn?

During this session, you will focus on something that matters to you. You will bring along a digital task or problem and with support, you will learn how to work through it step by step so you can feel more confident and capable using technology in your everyday life.

You will build practical skills by working on a real task, helping you to use your phone, tablet, or laptop more independently. You will also develop the confidence to try things for yourself and make progress with your own personal goals.
