Digitally Active @Home (360G-SCVO-a11b000000EtbcoAAB)

This project seeks to devise and provide sessions in the remaining 9 sheltered housing developments through continuing to work collaboratively with key partners. Funding is required for tutor’s face to face time with residents both in groups and 1:2:1. Materials will be provided by the supporting agency. On site sheltered housing managers will co-ordinate the activity and support tenants to attend. Sessions will be held at the developments in the wi-fi enabled communal lounges at a time and pace that suits the residents, as well as in their homes. Their existing tablet scheme (for those residents who have no device of their own) offered as part of their sustaining tenancy support will help remove the barriers faced by those with mobility issues and ensure devices can be set to the communal wi-fi and used in a home setting. Castle Rock Edinvar has a digital strategy and a vision to remove barriers and provide solutions to help customers, staff, and communities to develop the skills and confidence to become and remain digitally active and improve business efficiency.
