A charity is helping older people build their confidence with technology through friendly, personalised support.
Age Concern Hampshire is running one-to-one IT sessions at its Basingstoke and Locks Heath locations, offering older people the chance to learn digital skills in a relaxed environment.
The scheme is particularly timely, as more older adults receive tablets, smartphones or laptops as Christmas gifts, but may lack the confidence to use them independently.

Kim Stone, wellbeing coordinator at Age Concern Hampshire, said: "Technology can feel intimidating if you have never learned it before, or if you received a new device at Christmas and are not sure where to start.
"Our IT sessions help older people feel confident online, stay connected and make the most of the year ahead."
The sessions cover practical topics such as setting up devices, using emails, browsing the internet and solving everyday technology issues.
Support is tailored to each participant’s needs, aiming to help them stay in touch with family and access services.
Sessions are available by appointment.
To book a session, call 01962 868545 or visit the Age Concern Hampshire website.
