Looking for older local 1st time web users for BBC TV programme

The BBC are looking for individuals who are about to embark on their digital journey and use the internet for the first time. This would link well with a project running here in Harringay.

They’re looking for people for whom using the internet is a huge challenge but who have decided to give it a go, hoping to understand what their barriers have been up until now and what their motivation is to get online.

People are being sought from all walks of life, from all around the country and from all age-groups, with the ideal subjects being likeable, chatty individuals who can express what their anxieties or concerns are and why it’s important to them to have a go now.

They’re operating to a tight deadline, so are keen to speak to people ASAP and start filming any time from now until the end of September.

If you know of any potential first-time users who would be interested in getting involved, please let me know.
