Free digital workshops for over 55s
Starting this Friday, Eastside Community Trust is organising a series of digital skills workshops for the over-55s from 12.30 to 2.30 pm as part of the Eastside Connect project.
Eastside Connect is a peer-to-peer project that works with people over the age of 55, who live in Easton or Lawrence Hill. The project strives to harness the skills and experience both lived and knowledge base to enable participants to share and discuss their desires for what older people want to see and do in the area they live, either individually or collectively. We have a variety of activities, all asked for by those who attend such as “Cuppa to Connect” a time for tea and a natter, “Come dine with us” – a community meal and more recently “East Mingle” at Trinity Arts creating a way to connect through dance, music and discussion.
The sessions are free and there’s the added lure of free refreshments, so if you’re free on Friday, an apprentice or fully qualified pensioner come along with your device – be it laptop, tablet or mobile phone – and problems and the delightful Gary and your ‘umble scribe will provide loads of useful advice and try to sort them out for you! 😀
