Great Resources and Help for Older People in Self-Isolation

There’s a really good local voluntary group called Coffee and Computers (http://coffeecomputers.org) which offers one-to-one support to help (usually older) people achieve what they need from their smartphone, computer or tablet.  

Now they’ve added a lot of other information and resources to help people get the support they need during the lockdown.

Here’s what they say:

YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD SUPPORT GROUPS

We have details of YOUR local support group(s). If you need help and are not yet connected, just CLICK here. (If you like, we at Coffee & Computers can even contact them on your behalf.)

Our volunteers are on hand to help you on the phone or video call with applications such as WhatsApp, Zoom, Skype & Messenger that enable us to see & talk to each other. They can also help you with shopping, social media, and special interest sites. To be connected with a volunteer just CLICK here.
