Please note this is a structured course rather than a drop-in, so please do book a place, as these are limited to 10 people. We will also operate a waiting list, so if you are unable to make it after booking, please let us know as soon as possible so that your space may be given to someone else. We will supply a tablet to use during the sessions and there may be an opportunity to borrow a tablet from our device bank, for you to practice at home between sessions.

If you are looking for an improvers course or drop-in session, we will be announcing dates for these in due course.

Please email digital.inclusion@carersresource.org to book a place or call 01274 449660 for a chat to discuss with Michaela or Eileen. 

We look forward to helping you become more confident with tech!

Meet other carers and enjoy a walk around beautiful Harold Park. We finish the walk with a cuppa at the lovely park café (optional). Contact emcalonan@carersresource.org for more details or to receive reminders for this.

The group is for carers, however some carers do bring along the people they care for.

It is a great chance to meet new people, have a cup of tea or coffee with biscuits, have a chat and were here to support you with anything you may need.

The group is free, although we do accept donations and any are greatly appreciated.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Sara at;
