Derwent Court – Helping you get digital
You may have a friend, neighbour or relative who needs a little confidence boost to be able to get online. We provide support and guidance for those that want to get online, gain more confidence or increase their digital skills.
Our digital engagement coach, Jack, held a well attended digital drop-in session at one of our properties in Lancaster. Our residents at Derwent Court welcomed Jack and asked him questions related to digital services and devices.
Main topics that were covered in the drop-in:
- Online security
- Johnnie Johnson Housing online portal
- How to reset your password
- Social media
We received feedback from our residents, who said that they found this session very useful and learned a lot about how to start their journey online or improve their digital skills. We also offered residents one-to-one sessions with Jack, who was happy to provide tailored coaching with each resident based on their individual needs.
