IT Training - ClickSilver Computer Course
Please note:
To comply with the current government recommendations, we have taken the decision to close our head office (Bradbury House) and the Sybil Levin Centre (including Sybil's Homemade). We have also closed all group activities until further notice including Best Foot Forward, ClickSilver, MCST groups, Ageless Grace, Men in Sheds, Silver Pride, GP Referral Service (based at Sybil Levin Centre), Whatton sessions, and all team or group meetings.
All of our shops (West Bridgford, Mansfield and The Lifestyle Centre) are now open in line with government guidelines.

In a modern society technology is seen as common place and new advancements are occurring every day. Most people use a smart phone, computer, tablet or the internet at least once a day and many of us take it for granted. However, statistics indicate that 85% of people aged 55+ have never used the internet.
If that is you, never fear! Age UK Nottingham & Nottinghamshire, Business in the Community and Capital One have worked together to develop ClickSilver, a six-week computer course where participants receive one-to-one support from a volunteer to help them get to grips with the internet, emails and social media.
Working in conjunction with Nottingham Trent University and the University of Nottingham, ClickSilver matches each older person with their own student mentor to guide them through the course.
ClickSilver gives older people the knowledge and confidence to access information safely online, helping to provide more financial security for their future.
The course is suitable for people who know absolutely nothing about the computers and the internet through to those who wish they knew a bit more.
