The purpose of a volunteer Digital Buddy is to help older people with their tech worries - this could be answering questions about their mobile phones, helping someone to identify junk mail or getting to grips with using an app. Our Digital Buddy service aims to help older people build confidence with the digital world as a way to address digital exclusion – a growing problem in our ever-technical world. As a volunteer you would be providing 1-2-1 tech support to an older person. The support would either take place in a service users home or at our Hub in Chingford Mount. . Our hope is that by offering free advice we will be able to build skills and most importantly confidence.
