Getting Started Using IT

Try our Digital Guides
Step by step instructions to help guide you
We're all on a digital journey! Getting an email address, getting access to the internet, booking GP appointments online, all require an investment of time and an open-ness to discovering new ways of doing things. With this in mind, we've created a series of digital guides, specially developed to help people to get the most out of technology.
How to - Get Connected to the Internet
How to - Choose an internet Provider
How to - Join an Online Group (using Zoom)
If you'd like more help to try joining a Zoom meeting or to use a digital device, we can connect you to one-to-one support sessions (see on the right) and groups. Contact our Helpline: 020 7281 6018 or Activities Co-ordinator.
