The purpose of the project is to provide people aged 50+ with the opportunity to have access to the digital world and provide the support to experience it safely while getting the most out of it.

Age UK South Lakeland provides a telephone helpline service aimed at helping older people get online or find general IT support. This service is part of our larger Digital Inclusion project.

As part of this project, we will provide you with a working tablet and Internet Connectivity for a 3 month period, free of charge. We will also provide you with support and guidance to enable you to make best and safe use of your internet experience. Participation in our Digital Inclusion project is offered to those with no existing digital technology.
