Covid- 19 has brought new challenges to the 2.7 million people in the UK that don’t have access to the internet and Community Reconnect aims to support the elderly community to reconnect with their families and friends in the digital world. The beneficiaries will learn new digital smartphone skills which will enable them to communicate using modern technology. The need to digitally empower the elderly generation has never been more crucial than now. Community Reconnect will make a difference in people’s lives by allowing them to build their online skills and access online community services and reconnect with family and friends.
What can we help with…
Each beneficiary receives a non-commital sim with free data, text, calls and a new smartphone by Nokia and access to free digital skills training. We have already provided smartphones in the lockdown and now we will continue to help those that face barriers. Technology touches everyone, everywhere, and we want to be part of helping those who need it most!
