The internet provides many opportunities to keep in touch with family and friends, and build new connections. From email to video calling and social media, connecting online can help you feel close to others and help with feelings of loneliness.
Online shopping and banking can be quick and convenient, so will save you time and effort. But it’s important to know how to keep your money and identify safe.
Do you know someone who could benefit from being online, but doesn't know where to start or isn't convinced it could make a difference to their lives?
