The free sessions will offer support on using different digital devices and how to get things done safely online
BT is inviting older people in Glasgow to improve their digital skills over a cup of tea or coffee in the city centre from Wednesday, October 4 until Friday, October 6.
Hosted in partnership between BT and UK charity AbilityNet, tech experts will be on hand to offer advice to older people, from complete beginners to those looking to increase their confidence online. The charity's latest State of Ageing report finds that, while eight in ten people aged 65 and over now have internet access, only six in ten have the skills to be able to access the internet independently.
The sessions will offer a range of options, from a quick drop-in to ask specific questions, to more detailed 30-minute and 90-minute sessions.
