Connect <> Lockleaze gets a boost from Vodafone

From thousands of applicants nationwide, the Vodafone Foundation have chosen local resident, Edward Morgenstern to pursue his dream of making a difference for older people.

Thanks to Vodafone’s World of Difference Programme he is now able to give two days a week to help run computer courses and social activities for anyone over 55 living in north Bristol.

He has joined the North Bristol Advice Centre’s Community Support at Home team and his first task is to use the Connect <> Lockleaze facilities at the Langley Centre to plan and run a very basic computer course especially designed for older beginners.

Edward says “It will be simple, non-threatening and most of all fun.”

Participants will learn to use a keyboard and mouse, send email and browse the internet. “We want to use social media, skype etc to reduce isolation and encourage older people to work together to embrace change!”

If you are interested in enrolling, please contact Edward on 0117 951 5751.
