It Doesn't Matter How Much You Know. Or How Little.
It doesn’t matter how old you are. It doesn’t matter if you’ve never used a computer. It doesn’t matter if you’ve tried before and given up. If technology feels confusing, overwhelming, or just not made for you — you are exactly who we’re here for. Everyone who walks through our door gets the same thing: a friendly face, a patient volunteer, and as much time as they need. No pressure. No embarrassment. No rush.
WHAT YOU CAN GET HELP WITH
WHAT WE TEACH Practical Help With the Things That Matter Most. Our sessions cover the real everyday things people struggle with most — taught simply, patiently, and at your pace.
HOW IT WORKS THE PROCESS
Step 1 — Find Your Local Workshop
We currently run free monthly sessions at Ellon Library, Aberdeenshire. More locations are on the way.
Step 2 — Drop In or Book a Place
You can walk in on the day or let us know you’re coming — whichever feels more comfortable for you.
Step 3 — Get Friendly, Hands-On Help
A volunteer will sit with you, listen to what you need, and help you work through it — one step at a time, no rushing.
SCAM ALERT ⚠️
STAY SAFE ONLINE
Scams Are Getting Smarter. So Can You.
Online scams are one of the biggest threats facing people today and they are deliberately designed to catch even the most careful of us off guard.
Fake bank texts. Suspicious phone calls. Emails pretending to be the NHS or HMRC. Fraudulent online shopping sites.
They are getting harder to spot. But once you know what to look for — you can stop them in their tracks.
We teach you how to recognise them, what to do, and how to report them safely.

I found the session extremely informative and easy to follow.The relaxed way everything was explained really helped build my confidence with my device. I’m definitely learning more each time, and I’d be happy to come back for more sessions

I really enjoyed the group discussions because they focused on real-life issues I face when using my phone and other devices. The support was clear, patient, and tailored to what each person needed. I session.
Evelyne C
This session was very useful and professionally delivered. I learned a lot about how to use my digital tools properly, and I feel much more comfortable now. I would love to have more sessions like this, as there’s still so much to learn.
