There is an increase in older people getting online in later life than ever before, which is great! However, over 79% of all digital exclusion is among those aged 65 and over – representing 4.2 million older people.

Age UK Digital Champion Volunteers are helping older people to engage with technology.

This can be through a project like creating a digital photobook of their favourite memories, looking for help with a hobby, or just managing the new way of ordering prescriptions and shopping online.

There is a no limit to what we can do to help older people engage

If you or a family member has never had access to a computer or have one stuck in a draw, Age UK can help you engage with your loved ones and friends through Digital Video Online Technology. Share a cup of tea and a chat, removing the barrier of being miles apart.

Digital technology has the potential to offer opportunities for people of all ages; however, it is particularly important for older people to have the digital access, skills and confidence they need to live an included and independent life. Age UK Shropshire Telford & Wrekin will help people engage through providing 1-1 support with digital technology.
