Silver Surfers Computer Courses
A basic computer course is available for older residents living in the Edenbridge and Swanley areas co-ordinated by Sevenoaks District Council. The courses have been created as part of Healthy Lifestyle Projects which aims to support independent living, provide mental stimulation and enhance the quality of life of older people.
The training course is offered to residents in partnership with the Sevenoaks Volunteer Centre, Sencio Community Leisure and Kent Adult Education. The course is aimed at older people with very little or no experience of computers and teaches them a basic understanding of computers for personal use including using the internet, communicating through e-mails and basic word processing. One 70 year old participant who completed the course at Edenbridge said "A whole new world has opened up to me that I previously knew little about and thanks to the Silver Surfer course, I can now make the most of it.”
If you are interested in attending the next Silver Surfers computer course in Edenbridge or Swanley please telephone 01732 227000 and ask to be added to the waiting list for the next course, alternatively you can email: community.development@sevenoaks.gov.uk
