Hackney Silver Surfers Program

We have a continuous program of informal training, drop-in sessions, tasters (quick introductions for absolute beginners) and special events at our centres in Hackney. Our volunteers run special courses and provide support at sheltered housing schemes and other community centres. We also provide email and phone support for people who are unable, or do not wish, to visit our centres. Everything we do is tailored to the requirements of older learners, and it is all free.

We offer 2 alternatives for 'World-Wide Web and Email' — Tuesday and Wednesdays for 6 weeks, or a 12 week course on Mondays only. Ideal for beginners who want to learn about the Internet.

'Word-processing with MS Word' is a 6 week course on Thursdays and Fridays. MS Word is a popular program for word-processing (creating documents such as letters).
