Online Digital Week

Unfortunatley we had to restrct our drop in services during this time. However, we have undertaken many tasks to help our memebers to remain in control over their digital processes. Our volunteer Online Chum Mentors have been able to increase their time and support to all of our residents with a disability along with help to our older community.  A big thank you to all those who contributed to this.  Online Digital Week

Staying Connected

For all our volunteer Online Chum mentors we extend our thanks for making yourselves available to help those who consider themselves vulnerable. It is times like this where online access is essential. Yet, there are many who are not and will have to rely on their local communities to reach out to.  Anyone in distress, please let our volunteers know and they will try to direct you to where you need to be or support you making good use of your digital products and internet access.  Stay safe and keep in touch.  Our volunteer managed website Park View Project website is updated regularly and also has an easy-to-use blog where you can leave a message.

No need to feel alone! Why?

Park View Project is a digital project online-weekworking with and supporting vulnerable people, regardless of age or disability, to have a voice and to share their concerns about the current state we find ourselves in regarding Covid19.  We can provide online discussion-based responses via our Fireside Group website and provide instruction on specific matters relating to accessing socially essential services via our web platform Parkview Portal    You can do this using our ‘Contact’ or blog area.  Don’t hesitate to also ask if you are experiencing problems of any sort because we have volunteer Online Chum Mentors to guide you through any digital access issues you may have.
