We all recognise how isolating the pandemic has been for many within our society.  Accessing our basic needs from ordering groceries, making doctors’ appointments and claiming benefits has all moved online.  Being online can also mean chatting with your loved ones and being lifted by the smile of familiar faces.  Once online you can also explore your hobbies and open up a whole new world in a safe environment.

If you know of anyone in your community who needs help with basic digital skills, gaining confidence online or support getting online they can all Citizens Online’s FREE helpline on 0808 196 5883.  One of their trained digital champions will offer friendly, patient support over the phone.  

Citizens Online is a UK charity helping ensure the switch to online doesn’t exclude people.  Visit www.citizensonline.org.uk for more information.
