Getting you Online to Offline Community Activities across North Tyneside.

Making Digital Affordable

Our recent support from #jobnetworkbristol ( has been a lifeline for one of our beneficiaries. Jimmy had a Stroke, which has left him mainly offline with only occasional trips to the library. But with the help of jobnetworkbristol our project took receipt of a tablet, set it up and presented to Jimmy. To help in the digital journey Jimmy is now an active user of the online course: Learn My Way https://www.learnmyway.com/ providing easy to follow examples covering a variety of online features and functions relating to emails, accessing socially essential services, security, social media, dealing with errors and making your PC/Laptop accessible whether for hearing , visual, physical or cognitive support. We can provide one-to-one mentoring alongside face to face support at our weekly drop in sessions.
