Summary
A weekly drop in for people struggling with their tech.
Detailed description
The digital cafe is run by volunteers and is a weekly drop-in where support and advice can be accessed for a range of simple tech-related queries/issues. Volunteers should have a good general knowledge of current tech, although most queries tend to be fairly basic! Each cafe is supported by 2 volunteers.
Volunteering in the digital cafe is a great way to meet a new group of people. It is also a really rewarding way to support people as often the tech issues relate to smart phones/communication - once resolved this can help to tackle isolation for these service users and in some circumstances be quite life changing.
