Warwick Digital Cafe

Warwick Digital Cafe

28 Oct 2026 13:20
Volunteers work one-to-one with older people, helping them to use their laptops, smartphones, and tablets. By improving digital skills you will help 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 individuals to stay connected in a new digital world, you also have the chance to talk to local people about their lives and very varied backgrounds. If you enjoy a chat and helping others then make sure to come along, we would love to have you there!
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 (stop UW4) and travel together to Kenilworth on the number 11 bus. The group returns to campus at approximately 3.50pm. Volunteers can claim reimbursement by completing an expenses form on the Warwick Volunteers website.
