Bookings essential. Each lesson is booked separately.

Participants must be 60 years or over.

• Lesson 1: Introduction to Health & Wellness Apps

If you're looking to make 2023 a little easier on your body and soul, look any further than your smartphone. There are a whole host of new ways we can use our everyday tech to boost our wellbeing - including an assortment of apps aimed at just that. Track your health records and medications, manage your sleep cycle, ease stress with some yoga and meditation, exercise both your mind and your body and maybe find delicious health-boosting recipes too.

• Lesson 2: Introduction to Cybersafety

The internet is just a part of life now, and there’s so much you can do online. But should you trust the internet? The simple answer is yes. With the right tools and a few common sense precautions, you can protect yourself online. If you put security software on your computer and are careful about giving personal information to strangers, you should be just fine.
