    Opportunity


    About this opportunity:Are you passionate about the power of technology? Would you like to help bridge the digital divide? Do you have a few hours available each month?

    Technology can help people to gain or regain their independence by allowing them to shop or bank online. It can battle isolation, as people can use the Internet and online services to connect to their family and friends. Technology can also provide something fun and relaxing to do though online games, TV, radio and other entertainment services.

    Many older people and disabled people experience difficulties with their technology and can’t find the support they need. Ability Net’s volunteers provide one-to-one technology support remotely and through home visits. Get involved today - apply to become a volunteer. This opportunity has flexible hours, driven and shaped by you and you will be given support to make a real difference in your area.
