PC Refurb - Bridging the Digital Divide

Hatts Chats and Giggles

Discover the transformative power of digital literacy in our latest episode of Hatts Chats and Giggles. Join us as we chat with Sam Hardy and Elissa Bryant from PC Refurb about their incredible work refurbishing donated computers and offering digital skills training to those who need it most. From older adults to individuals re-entering society after incarceration, and young people lacking formal education, hear heartwarming stories of how access to technology has changed lives. Alyssa also shares her personal journey and motivations, highlighting the urgency of digital inclusion in today's tech-driven world.
We also unpack the broader issues of digital exclusion and the innovative solutions emerging to tackle them. Ever struggled with mobile banking? We share personal anecdotes about mastering these conveniences, often with help from younger family members. Compare the necessity of digital skills to basic reading, as we discuss community initiatives aimed at building these vital skills, focusing on projects in Tameside. Learn about the diverse teaching models, from group sessions to one-on-one assistance by dedicated digital champions. This episode is a poignant reminder of how digital literacy can significantly enhance lives and foster deeper social connections.
