Digital volunteers wanted

Workshops for NCDN’s Digital Volunteering with Older People project.

Northumberland Community Development Network are looking for volunteers to help older people get online.

    Hi Anna!

    I think the date for the meeting at Heddon is wrong because 15th Sept is on a Saturday.

    LOL Joan.
