- out. If you use a computer at home or work, and perhaps support family and friends with their tech issues, you are likely to have the skills we are looking for. This is a fantastic opportunity to help make a real difference for our older people to maintain or increase their independence and well-being.

- Problem - solving approach

**Benefit of volunteering**:

- Helping older people in your community to stay connected and to be less socially isolated
