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!
