  • Volunteers work one-to-one with older people, helping them to use their laptops, smartphones, and tablets. By improving digital skills, they build confidence and empower people to remain independent, access important services and information, stay connected with family and friends, and engage more fully with their community. As well as helping older learners to stay connected in what for them is a new world, you also have the chance to talk to local people about their lives and very varied backgrounds. You may be surprised at what they have to say!


    Skills or experience required?
    No previous experience is required. As long as you’re comfortable using a smartphone, laptop, or tablet, you will have the skills needed to help others use theirs. All you need is patience!

    What will I do? 
    The learners are mostly older adults from the local area. Volunteers typically support with everyday digital tasks, such as using Google Maps, sending emails, sharing photos, using social media, or accessing online services. You do not need to know everything. If a question or technical issue arises that you are unsure about, a Project Leader will always be there to help.

    Where does this activity take place?
    Sessions take place at The Kenilworth Community Centre from 2:00pm to 3:30pm. 

    How can I travel there from campus?
    Volunteers meet at 1.20 pm at the bus interchange and travel together to Kenilworth on the number 11 bus. The group returns to campus at approximately 3.50pm. Bus fares are reimbursed by Warwick Volunteers.
