Warwick Digital Cafe
21 Jan 2026 13:20 - 15:50
Volunteers work with older people on a one-to-one basis, helping them to use their laptops, phones and tablets. We are now based in Kenilworth with transport provided or direct by bus from the bus interchange. Register your interest to join the Warwick Digital Cafe mailing list.
We help older people use their phones, tablets and laptops so that they can remain independent and connected with the community.
The clients are mostly elderly people from the local area. There is NO previous experience required! If you know how to work your phone/laptop/tablet then you'll be able to help the older learners to use theirs. Often you'll be teaching them quite basic skills like how to use Google Maps, share photos and send emails. In the event that something that you are unfamiliar with arises during the sessions, one of the project leaders will always be there to help!
The Kenilworth Community Centre is in Kenilworth and can be reached by a bus service direct from the Bus Interchange on campus, the fare being refunded by Warwick Volunteers at the end of the term.
We will meet at 1:20pm at the bus interchange to take the 11 bus to Kenilworth. Sessions last from 2:00pm to 3:30pm on various dates depending on the availability of student volunteers.

More information about each week's session will be shared through our email newsletter; however, we'll always explain what we are doing at the start of the sessions, and anyone is welcome to attend.
