Technology can help people to gain or regain their independence by allowing them to shop or bank online l

You don’t need to be a tech guru to help. Typical help requests for a volunteer include:

Helping someone set up an email account

Showing someone how to use online video calling via WhatsApp or Zoom

Setting up a new device and connecting it to the internet

Giving advice on anti-virus protection and internet safety

Changing basic device settings to make it easier to use

I get lots of support from AbilityNet staff, and from the excellent website. I always feel valued when I'm working and never feel judged when I'm not.
