What is digital support all about:

The move towards a digital society presents significant obstacles for older adults and disabled people, many of whom find it difficult to remain independent due to restricted internet access. Contributing factors include a lack of digital skills, uncertainty about the advantages of being online, concerns around privacy and cybersecurity, as well as issues of affordability and availability. At Park View Project, older individuals often encounter hurdles such as reluctance to embrace new technology, low self-esteem, and limited confidence, whereas younger disabled people many be vulnerable to abuse, online bullying, and physically and sensory accessibility issues.
