Are you 50 years or over, and live or work in Hackney?
-
Want to find out how to use the Internet to access local services, send email to friends and relatives,
trace your family tree, pursue hobbies and interests — or perhaps just learn a little about what
can be done with a computer?
- Come along to one of our Drop-in Centres to get started. Learn in your own way at your own pace.
-
Thinking about buying a computer and getting yourself online — but don't know where to start,
or if you have started, don't know what to do next?
- Visit, phone or email our weekly Silver Surfers Surgery for free, impartial advice on acquiring hardware and software without spending more money than you really have to.
-
Interested in getting a formal IT qualification to help
get you back into work, or to make you a more effective volunteer?
- We can help you find the right course to match your ambitions, and we can provide initial training to give you confidence that you can do it.
Do you run an Over-50s club, association or housing scheme in Hackney?
-
Do you think your members would be interested in learning how they can benefit from the Internet?
- Invite a Hackney Silver Surfer worker to give a demonstration to your members. We can visit anywhere in Hackney, and we can bring laptop computers and a digital projector with us.
-
Would you like to produce a regular newsletter or brochure — but you don't have the skills or
resources to do it properly?
- Hackney Silver Surfers will be your IT department. We will show you how to do it — and you can do it all for free on our computers with help from our experienced trainers, including master copies for your printer.
