My family member

Can you tell us a little more about this person:

Recently suffered a stroke

Tell us more:

A combination of reduced mobility, ages an'n'd Covid restrictions can no longer get out and about.

My pledge:

to provide an Echo, FireTV & iPad and educate in the use of each to: 1. using the Echo (can be used to voice call family). 2. watch a number of streaming services (Prime, Disney+ and Netflix) 3. play games, watch YouTube videos (mainly laughing babies and funny & dogs) and video call family and friends (using Facetime), email and Amazon shopping on the iPad.

Hang on, what's a pledge?

Hello, welcome to Inspire! This is a programme in which volunteers pledge their time to support friends, family, colleagues, or even their community, with digital skills learning. It's really simple:

you learn about digital skills support and how to do it
you make a pledge to help someone
you do it!

If your volunteer scheme is part of the programme already and you want to get started, go here to register.

If your volunteer scheme isn't already part of Inspire did you know you can join it? It's open to workplaces, organisations, clubs, education and more. To talk about how to get involved, just give us a shout.
