Helen Rice, chief executive at Age UK West Sussex, Brighton & Hove said: “Some older people may never have learned how to use the internet and might find it daunting, but the benefits are vast.
“Keeping in touch with friends and family more easily, shopping online, and managing money through internet banking are just a few reasons to give it a try. “The sessions are really informal and will go at a pace you’re comfortable with. Please come along if you’re interested. You might find a whole new world at your fingertips!”
Drop-ins run every Monday to Thursday from 10am – 1pm at the Age UK Brighton & Hove centre, 29 – 31 Prestonville Road, BN1 3TJ.
