ITea and Biscuits week aims to engage older people in technology

A week-long IT event is being held in Aberdeen to introduce technology to older people.

Age UK’s ITea and Biscuits Week runs from September 19-25 and Aberdeen-based charity Silver City Surfers is calling on people over the age of 55 who are interested in learning about technology to join them for a free IT taster session.

Now in its fourth year, ITea and Biscuits Week is an annual campaign which aims to reinforce that technology is increasingly important and can offer older people numerous benefits, from using email and the internet to keep in contact with loved ones more easily, to using digital cameras to capture special memories.

Drop-in sessions will take place at The Citadel, 28 Castle Street, from 11am to 1pm on Wednesday, September 21 and Friday, September 23, and are open to everyone - with a particular emphasis on those new to technology. 

Other sessions will be held on Monday, September 19 at the STAR Flat, 14a Seaton Drive, from 11am to 1pm, with a follow-up event for those with their own laptop at Charles Michie's Coffee Shop from 2.30pm to 4pm on Monday, October 3.

Celebrate Aberdeen Parade, 11th June 2011

We were delighted to take part in the parade to celebrate volunteers within Aberdeen.  As you can see in the photo, we were ready for all weather, and had fun walking along Union Street with our banner which was kindly sponsored by The BIG Partnership.

   

Digital Unite Silver Surfer Day in May

This was a successful event where many people came along to learn about how to get onto the internet and use computers.  It's a common theme that although many people are given computers by their family, it's not always clear what they should do with them!  If this sounds familiar, please pop in to see us and we'll help you to get started.
