Agewell Social Network at The Lawns.

Getting online one click at a time.

First Click is a major BBC campaign to encourage people who do not yet use the Internet to understand and enjoy its benefits. Using computers to get on the Internet is easier than you think. Why not take your first click with the BBC?

If you are a Hackney resident aged 50 to 65, your nearest free First Click course provider is us, the Agewell Computer Club – specialists in explaining all things digital to people in the mid-life pre-retirement range. We provide free computer training and free Internet access – and we have friendly weekly sessions for continued learning or support.

If you join our First Click course, we can help you learn all the skills you need to feel confident about using the Internet – to improve your employment prospects, become more involved in the community, have more frequent contact with your friends and family, learn about online shopping, pay bills, access information about health, travel, hobbies, council services and anything else you are interested in! All the other learners will be older people just like yourself – and the tutors too.

The Agewell Computer Club is recruiting now for our next First Click course in March 2011 – one session each week for six weeks (plus a two-week break for Easter).

• The first session will be on Tuesday 22 March 2011.
• The final session will be on Tuesday 10 May 2011.
• Session times will be 1.15 to 2.45 pm.
• The venue will be our computer centre at 52 The Lawns, Matthias Road, N16 8QB.
• Participants who are genuine absolute beginners will be invited to an optional pre-course taster on Tuesday 15 March 2011 (1.15 to 2.45 pm).

If you are a beginner yourself, or know somebody else who would like to come to this series of Tuesday afternoon classes – please keep yourself in the loop by leaving a message at The Lawns (phone: 020 7254 2183) or send an email to acc@lawns.org.uk .
