BBC's 'Give an hour' campaign to help older people to get online

[SerenaS]

Hello everyone,

I don't know if you've spotted this campaign from the BBC which is encouraging people to give an hour to help an older friend or family member to get online.

The Alzheimer's Society website is mentioned in 'Give an hour handbook' which looks quite useful (link below)

The 'Give an Hour' campaign website is here:

Hope this is helpful

I belong to the Thanet Senior Citizens` Forum and we have been trying to encourage members to take the IT courses, offered free to seniors.

I sent the links to our Chair who will include them in our regular Newsletter and discuss them at our next open meeting in November.

In turn she sent me the following link.
