Life skills for Youngsters
Our Youngsters are keen to learn from the wisdom and experience of seniors, who teach them important life skills. Through tech help sessions both younger and older generations are able to connect.

Did we end up solving your problem? You did, and a very, very detailed problem it was too. In fact, if it had been me I wouldn’t have lasted this long, and the phone would have gone out of the window a long time ago.
