Get free digital skills support in Telford and Wrekin
Do you or someone you know ever feel like Dorothy, overwhelmed by the fast pace of the digital world?
"I feel like the world is moving so fast, and I’m struggling to keep up. Every time I try to use technology, whether it’s paying a bill, booking an appointment, or even just sending a message to my family, I get stuck. The screens are confusing, I’m afraid I’ll press the wrong button and mess something up, or I’ll click on something that’s a scam. It’s frustrating and embarrassing to ask for help all the time.""While everyone else seems to do things with ease, I feel left out, like I’m missing out on a part of life that’s now essential. It’s lonely, and all I want is to feel confident and included again."
- Dorothy, person supported by AbilityNet with digital skills advice
