Digital Confidence for Carers

OPAL have launched a new project to help support unpaid Carers* on a 1-2-1 basis on how to use and make the most of their smart devices and safely access the internet.

Our volunteer mentors can help you with downloading and accessing the NHS app, including information on how you can link your Cared for record to your app, how to shop online, pay bills, communicate with family or friends and stay safe.

The 1-2-1 support will be provided at specfic Carer drop in sessions across rural West Cheshire or, depending on availbility, in your home.

Our friendly team of volunteers will provide activities and support for your Cared for person whilst you attend these Carer specifc sessions.

If you are interested or would like to know more please email goonline@opalservices.org.uk or check out our Carer events and/or GoOnLine events for dates of sessions.

* Carers aged 60+ or caring for someone who is aged 60+
