Bristol Tea and Tech - North Bristol Advice Centre

Bristol Tea and Tech drop-ins are held in community spaces across north Bristol and offer support to older people to develop digital skills and confidence to get connected, and do what matters to them online.

 The team will be returning to Henleaze to continue fortnightly sessions and Henbury, Horfield (Ebenezer Church and Manor Farm) and Sea Mills as a monthly pop-up.  In addition, a six-week course will take place at Westbury-on-Trym and Avonmouth.  The course will cover the basics from navigation, using email, sending text messages to downloading and using apps. NBAC’s weekly digital drop-in in Lockleaze will run on Tuesday mornings, from 10:30 am to 12.30 pm in September only.  And also as a Wednesday afternoon monthly pop up session.

All sessions are suitable for beginners and those with experience, aged 55 and over,  who want to update their skills. Volunteers will be on hand to help people to get online and address concerns about safety and security.  People can bring their own smartphone, tablet, or laptop, or use one of ours. The service is free –and includes a cuppa and a chat.  Bristol Tea and Tech is funded by St Monica Trust’s Digital Inclusion Fund.
