Flexible Learning Sessions: Our Digital Champions lead customized sessions tailored to each person's interests, helping them develop the digital skills they need at their own pace.

Technology Loans: We provide loan devices such as tablets, laptops, smartphones, and internet access, so people over 50 can explore digital technology and see if it suits their needs.
