Better Together South Shoalhaven
Living Connected
Season 1, Ep. 19
•
In this episode of Better Together South Shoalhaven, we talk to Helen, an instigator for the group Living Connected. Living Connected is an organisation that helps senior members of the community to better understand and use technology. This could be support with using phones, the internet, and using everyday services online. The organisation started because of the increasing struggles older Australians were having with our complex and changing technology. Living Connected relies on volunteers throughout the South Coast to help older Australians.
