Community Learning and Development Device Fund 2023 (360G-SCVO-a13N2000002dVdvIAE)
DIGITAL SKILLS FOR OUR OLDER FOLK - REDUCING ISOLATION AND ENHANCING DIGITAL USAGEEday is one of the smaller isles in Orkney and one of the most remote and fragile in Scotland. There are limited services and facilities and long journey times to connect the community with the main island in Orkney. The current population is around 130, having declined from 160 in 2011. The proportion of folk aged 65 and over has increased from 27% to 33% and many of these are aged 80 or over. There is a high proportion of residents on Eday with no qualifications at 29% (2011). Census data highlights that Eday has a significantly high proportion of residents in poor health or that are limited on a day-to-day basis by illness. 15% of the population in 2011 suffered from poor or bad health – compared to only 5% at Scotland level and 4% across Scotland’s isles.There are high levels of social isolation on the island, with limited facilities and many people with no family connections on the island. As everything moves to 'digital' our older folk are being left behind. This project involves a number of key activities and outcomes:Task 1: Distribution of tablets to persons aged over 65 or those with reduced mobility who do not have access to a tablet or computer, for a one year period. Task 2: Teach and enable users to set up video conference / facetime connections so that they can make contact with friends and family who do not live on the island, but also with those on the island.Task 3: Teach and enable users to set up various accounts digitally: e.g. bank, telephone, other utilities.Task 4: Teach and enable users to utilise other software, programmes or Apps that might be of benefit to them - for example email.it is envisaged that the tablets can also be used for medical and other appointments.The Wellbeing Team will facilitate the distribution and usage of the tablets.A Board Member with the appropriate IT skills will set up a security policy and protocol.
