Digital inclusion: How Age UK Camden helps older people to connect

Objectives

Age UK Camden has developed a range of computer training services to enable people over 50 to enjoy the benefits of computers and the internet.

Their ‘Beginners Guide to Computers’ training course aims to help people who are over 50 to learn the basics of using a computer, the internet, and email. Age UK Camden provides more advanced courses to enable older people to become even more adept at using Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to improve their quality of life.

For those individuals who complete the beginner course and don’t own a computer or have access to the internet, Age UK Camden provides drop in sessions. These sessions provide this target group with access to ICT and also an opportunity to receive further technical advice.
