Digital Friends
What is this service?
Digital Friends - bringing digital skills support to the housebound across Essex.

Connect and empower: Help older adults learn basic digital skills to stay connected with family, access shopping online and regain independence.
Combat isolation: Volnuteers help open up new possibilities, reduce loneliness and give seniors the opportunity to connect with others beyond the walls of their home.
This project is for housebound individuals aged 60 years + living across Essex.
Enjoy a chat over a cuppa - discover how being online can make life easier and more connected.
Learn useful digital skills - from downloading the NHS App to online shopping, video calls, GP bookings and more.
Friendly, patient volunteers - all DBS-checked and working at your pace, with up to six relaxed sessions.
Personal support at home - one to one help with your device, in the comfort of your own home.
