Digital Access & Quality of Life

Health Social Support appsDigital Inclusion means making access to support that impacts many aspects of our day-to-day QoL. We are exploring Health & Social Support apps to understand how they can help our local community to maintain their independence. We want to help people take control over how they use the internet through guidance, mentoring and group facilitation. Based at our Shiremoor accessible IT suite we will be reaching out to our residents who face challenges because of disability or infirmity to help us gauge how these apps make a difference.  However, help is holistic, which is why we will give you the skills and confidence to use these internet-based services. To find out more contact office@parkviewproject.org.uk You can also visit our website to find out more about what we do as a community-based organisation representing residents who consider themselves vulnerable.  You can also discuss your needs with a member of our team on 01914771667. (We currently operate on a Tuesday & Wednesday between 12.00 noon – 7.00 pm).
