Our Services

IT skills

Empowering you is our mission. We TEACH you how to do it yourself. 

By keeping up with technological changes: 1) you’re keeping your mind fit, 2) you’ll also be more easily able to connect with family & friends & 3) you’ll be making the most of technology & all it brings & offers. It can help with you in your work & leisure, expanding your horizons.

Learning: Empower yourself by learning how to solve basic IT queries & problems. Just like if you have a bike, it’s good to know how to repair a puncture.

Hardware

Replacements: IT hardware is the tangible equipment – the mobile handset, the laptop, the printer itself. Software are the programs which run on that hardware. If your hardware can’t be fixed or there’s more appropriate software for you, we can help you choose replacements.

Social

Through your IT, you can connect & reconnect with family & friends, new & old. Social Media can help combat loneliness & increase happiness levels. You choose what you want to do & we can teach you how to fully enjoy it.

Banking & Medical

Online banking in the UK began c.1997. Many have used it very successfully & without any difficulties for many years now. It’s another way of empowering you, making your life easier, reducing your admin time & increasing time to be productive or for fun activities. 

We can also help you access & manage your medical records & make online medical bookings.

Safety

Staying safe online, keeping your IT equipment up to date & backing up are of course all vital. We can advise on antivirus software & help you recognise fraudulent online behaviours.
