If you know anyone who would benefit from participating in a course to learn new skills and technology then please ask them to ring Tina on 07899872097.

The course is for people over 50 years old and held in the training room at Disability Stockport in a warm and supportive environment.

Another positive of being based at Disability Stockport is finding out about useful resources taking place in the community.

There is a Beginners Course for people over the age of 50 to learn IT using a tablet. This course is based here at Disability on a Wednesday afternoon 1pm till 3pm.

If you are over 50 and would like more interest then please give Tina a ring. She will be able to provide you with more details and add you to the course waiting list.
