CONNECTING WITH OTHER PEOPLE
Obviously direct face to face connection is best but if you find it difficult to get out and can no longer drive that becomes increasingly difficult. The conventional telephone is good for one to one conversations, and there are modifications to overcome or minimise hearing problems but there are now other options, particularly for meeting with and getting involved with a group of other people
Our aim is for everyone over 60 to be able to use at least one of these technologies
