Digital Support

Would you like support to build your confidence, connect, and learn at home on your digital device – mobile phone, tablet or laptop? Our digital buddies can support you with up to six weekly home visits for 1–2 hours each week. From feeling confident with sending an email on your laptop to navigate messaging on your mobile phone.

Some examples of what a Digital Buddy could support you with:

  • Accessing online services
  • Setting up a new digital device
  • Messaging on your mobile phone
  • Sending emails from your laptop or computer
  • Picture messaging
  • Problem solving
  • Staying safe online.

Our digital buddies are not able to support with online banking, advise on purchases, or fixing hardware.

If you are able to get out and about, please call 020 8299 2623 to enquire about our digital groups.
