The Go for IT project will foster interest and promote the importance and value of digital technology amongst adults aged 50 plus in the designated wards in Neath Port Talbot. The previous work delivering Outreach services in Neath Port Talbot has a identified a level of interest, but many people have anxieties surrounding involvement in using digital technology to assist in various aspects of modern day life. Age Connects Neath Port Talbot will recruit, train and support a minimum of 10 ICT Volunteer Mentors to assist with providing long term and sustainable ICT support for people aged 50 plus during and beyond the life of the three project. These opportunities for volunteering will enhance a persons digital, social and communication skills, offer valuable experience and contribute t widening their potential for future employment.
